Praying is what confirms our true belief that we cannot succeed without God, and its absence confirms the exact opposite.

When we worry, we are telling God, "You are neither trustworthy nor in control, so I need to worry and scheme as I take matters into my own hands." In this way unbelief drives worry, for it is impossible to worry when we are trusting in the provision of our sovereign God.

Our prayer must be, "Father, I'm waiting for You because I know You are good in what You do and in when you do it.

You can't teach a person to love something. But you can get him to feel the heat of your love for something.

I don't have everything I want but I have everything I need. That's contentment.

In a society where rationality has ruled so long, the church frequently fails to see that in forsaking the weekly pursuit of the transcendent, we have given up the only ground that was uniquely ours in this world. In attempting to make the church something that can attract and add value to secular mind-sets, we have turned our backs on our one true proposition - transcendence.

Let God Himself be the main attraction at church again.
