Worship is not simply a feeling that is experienced; it must also involve understanding and the mind.

When you feel depressed, it helps to actively change your environment. Go and do something different. Martin Luther conquered his depression by going outside to work in his garden. Surprisingly enough, one of the best ways to handle depression is to go to work immediately on the task you least enjoy. (The chances are your depression is caused by guilt feelings arising out of neglect of those tasks.)

The presumptuous sin of Uzzah was that He assumed his hands were less polluted than the dirt.

Truth is too important to kill it in the streets for the sake of peace.

The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless. It hungers and thirsts. It pants as the deer after the mountain brook. It takes the kingdom by storm...The pursuit of God is a pursuit of passion. Indifference will not do. To abide in the Word is to hang on tenaciously. A weak grip will soon slip away. Discipleship requires staying power. We sign up for duration. We do not graduate until heaven.

I cannot have God in my heart if he is not in my head. Before I can believe in, I must believe that.

Disciples of Christ abide in His Word. Those who abide in His Word know the truth and are free.
