Unless the Bible is first taught to our own hearts, then we have no basis from which to teach it to others at all.

Holy Spirit, take the Word of truth as we find it in the Scriptures and bring it home to our lives.

Despite the obvious emphasis of Scripture (in regard to suffering), we are bombarded by suggestions that the 'successful' Christian living takes place in the realm of constant victory, health, wholeness, and financial prosperity. In response to this we are not to pretend that suffering doesn’t exist or that it might be instantly cured. Such notions are the product of empty heads and closed Bibles.

It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian.

Prayer is the means that God has ordained for the supply of grace that is necessary to be joyful in hope.

I know that a man is converted when he starts to sing

What kind of wonderful God is this who reaches down into the lives of people, picks them up, grants them faith, and changes them!
