Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.
Worship0Everything about God is great, vast, incomparable. He never forgets, never fails, never falters, never forfeits His word.
Knowing God0The man who continues in his rejection of Christ has a pet sin somewhere.
Unbelief, Sin0Be still, and know that I am God'. We must not interpret that 'Be still' in a sentimental manner. Some regard it as a kind of exhortation to us to be silent; but it is nothing of the sort. It means, 'Give up (or 'Give in') and admit I am God. God is addressing people who are opposed to Him
Knowing God0We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.
Faith0We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.
Loving God0What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.
Thought Life0One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team.
Church0O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, 'Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.' Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.
God's Goodness, Prayer0Sometimes I go to God and say, "God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God's already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn't pay Him for what He's done for me.
Gospel0I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.
Worship, Scripture0God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.
Nature of God0The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly
has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.
Justice0An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.
Nature of God0To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love.
Love0Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.
Blessings, Praise0The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.
Surrender0What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
Mind, Thinking0The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One.
Desires0Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.
Meekness, Rest0He is so high that he surmounts all created capacities to comprehend him.
A Glimpse of God\'s GloryKnowing God0A Glimpse of God\'s Glory
It is no sin to doubt some things but it may be fatal to believe everything.
Belief0A spiritual and saving knowledge of God is the greatest need of every human creature.
Knowing God0God is only truly known in the soul as we yield ourselves to Him, submit to His authority, and regulate all the details of our lives by His holy precepts and commandments.
Knowing God0O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, 'Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.' Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.
