Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement!

Do we eagerly long for the coming of Christ? Or do we want him to wait while our love affair with the world runs its course? That is the question that tests the authenticity of faith.

Oh, how rare are the Christians who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel.

The key to praying with power is to become the kind of persons who do not use God for our ends but are utterly devoted to being used for His ends.

One of the great enemies of hope is forgetting God's promises.

God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.
