Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it.
You can blame circumstances, but backsliding always begins in the heart.
Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.
Where God is not glorified, that place is sick
The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence.
We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.
