Skeptics would rather, even at their own expense, appear to be right than take the risk of trusting.
John OrtbergThe problem with spending your life climbing up the ladder is that you will go right past Jesus, for he's coming down.
John OrtbergI need to worship because without it I can forget that I have a Big God beside me and live in fear. I need to worship because without it I can forget his calling and begin to live in a spirit of self-preoccupation. I need to worship because without it I lose a sense of wonder and gratitude and plod through life with blinders on. I need worship because my natural tendency is toward self-reliance and stubborn independence.
