I 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.

Sloth is the failure to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done - like the kamikaze pilot who flew seventeen missions.

Prayer allows us to wait without worry.

Too often we argue about Christianity instead of marveling at Jesus.

If we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards.

Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.

For the soul to be well, it needs to be with God.
