Doesn’t the God who created the universe out of nothing and put all the stars in place, have the power to take care of your situation?

I have since learned that the most mature believer is the one who is bent over, leaning most heavily on the Lord, and admitting his total inability to do anything without Christ. The greatest Christian is not the one who has achieved the most but rather the one who has received the most.

The Bible does say, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." Preaching, music, the reading of the Word-these things are fine-but they must never override prayer as the defining mark of God's dwelling.

The fact that we were created to enjoy God and to worship him forever is etched upon our souls

We need to realize that the promises that overflow our Bibles will overflow into our own lives only as we appropriate them through prayer.

For all of us involved in preaching the gospel, performing music, publishing Christian materials, and all the rest, there is an uncomfortable message here: Jesus is not terribly impressed with religious commercialism

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.
