Let the average man be put to the proof on the question of who is above, and his true position will be exposed.

Leadership requires vision, and whence will vision come except from hours spent in the presence of God in humble and fervent prayer?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
God's redemptive revelation in Scripture is necessary to saving faith and peace with God. Faith in a risen Savior is necessary if the vague stirrings toward immortality are to bring us to restful and satisfying communion with God.

There is no place to hide but in the blood of the Lamb.

Image
The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him.

Powerless religion may put a man through many surface changes and leave him exactly what he was before.

We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second

No man has any right to speak to men about God who has not first spoken to God about men.

Image
Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.

The cross is the lightning rod of grace that short-circuits God's wrath to Christ so that only the light of His love remains for believers.
