A Johns Hopkins doctor says that 'we do not know why it is that the worriers die sooner than the non-worriers, but that is a fact.' But I, who am simple of mind, think I know we are inwardly constructed, in nerve and tissue and brain cell and soul, for faith and not for fear. God made us that way. Therefore, the need of faith is not something imposed on us dogmatically, but it is written in us intrinsically. We cannot live without it. To live by worry is to live against Reality.

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy.

Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.

If you find something that gets hold of you in the Word, pass it on to somebody that very day.

Continuing a Lenten series on prayer: Prayer is co-operation with God. It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us - an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation.

If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.
