People who do not worship are swept into a vast restlessness, epidemic in the world, with no steady direction and no sustaining purpose.

Never before has the world been so desperately asking for answers to crucial questions, and never before has the world been so frantically committed to the idea that no answers are possible.

There is a calamitous difference between a people who have been immersed in paganism for centuries and a post-Christian society. While the culture of the latter may carry a deep tradition influenced by Christian values, its posture of rebellion will give it a direction that is more explicitly and consciously anti-Christian.

Christians in community must again show the world, not merely family values, but the bond of the love of Christ.

We worship so that we live in response to and from this centre, the living God.

Trials should not surprise us, or cause us to doubt God's faithfulness. Rather, we should actually be glad for them. God sends trials to strengthen our trust in him so that our faith will not fail. Our trials keep us trusting; they burn away our self confidence and drive us to our Savior.

When we worship God as we ought that's when the nations listen.
