I learned to pray out of desperation. For most of us, this is how the adventure usually begins. When we finally get serious about prayer, the trigger is usually desperation, not duty.... We don't pray because we ought, we pray because we are without any other recourse.
David JeremiahHappiness comes from holiness. You can't truly be happy unless you're hungry for Jesus Christ.
David JeremiahMen are not sent to hell because of being murderers or liars, they are sent to hell because they are unrighteous.
David JeremiahSome believe we have little or no role in our own Christian maturity. God does everything, they think, and we simply have to "let go and let God." After all, if it's the "fruit of the Spirit," we should passively let him work within us as we abide in Christ.
David Jeremiah
