There are no shortcuts to spiritual maturity. It takes time to be holy.

If we haven't learned to be worshipers it doesn't really matter how well we do anything else. Worship changes us or it has not been worship. To stand before the Holy One of eternity is to change. Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience.

The work that God does in us when we wait is usually more important than the thing for which we wait!

The activities we do for God are secondary. God is looking for people who long for communication with Him.

Temptation is God's magnifying glass; it shows us how much work he has left to do in our lives.

We must worship in truth. Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God. "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth" (Psm. 145:18). Worship that is not based on God's Word is but an emotional encounter with oneself.

At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.
