How quickly we forget God's great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past.

What is it about tears that should be so terrifying? the touch of God is marked by tears...deep, soul-shaking tears, weeping...it comes when that last barrier is down and you surrender yourself to health and wholeness

Christ died to save this lost world; he did not come to destroy, maim or pour out wrath.

We want his power more than his purity.

The cry for peace will increase according to scripture.

To some Christians today, this world is not a sinking ship or a world reserved for fire. It is an international capitol building overrun with undesirables whom these believers plan to kick out. They will then take their place, renovating and governing it all themselves. Such thinking is symptomatic of a dying love for Jesus and a clinging to this world!

We simply can't trust God's power fully until we experience it in the midst of our crisis.
