The lust for affluence in contemporary society has become psychotic; it has completely lost touch with reality.

The needed change within us is God's work, not ours. The demand is for an inside job, and only God can work from the inside. We cannot attain or earn this righteousness of the kingdom of God: it is a grace that is given.

If the Lord is to be Lord, worship must have priority in our lives. The divine priority is worship first, service second.

God's heart is the most sensitive and tender of all. No act goes unnoticed, no matter how insignificant or small.

The truth of the matter is, we all come to prayer with a tangled mass of motives altruistic and selfish, merciful and hateful, loving and bitter. Frankly, this side of eternity we will never unravel the good from the bad, the pure from the impure. God is big enough to receive us with all our mixture.

Prayer is - listening for the still small voice of God. Listening with the "ear of our hearts."

Let's discipline ourselves so that our words are few and full.
