Twentieth-century man needs to be reminded at times that work is not the result of the Fall. Man was made to work, because the God who made him was a 'working God.' Man was made to be creative, with his mind and his hands. Work is part of the dignity of his existence.

The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears... This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.

It is God who gives us the spirit of worship (Psalm 133:3), and it is what we know of God that produces this spirit of worship. We might say that worship is simply theology, doctrine, what we think about God, going into top gear! Instead of merely thinking about Him, we tell Him, in prayer and praise and song, how great and glorious we believe Him to be!

God's guidance will require patience on our part. His leading is not usually a direct assurance, a revelation, but His sovereign controlling of the circumstances of our lives, with the Word of God as our rule. It is therefore, inevitable that the unfolding of His purposes will take time - sometimes a very long time.

My security as a Christian does not reside in the strength of my faith but in the indestructibili ty of my Savior.

The real test that I believe that God is love is that tragedies don't separate me from the conviction that God is love.

God has chosen us. Our status is not a matter of our worthiness, but of His love.
