Someone has said that the marks of a strong church are wet eyes, bent knees, and a broken heart. We'll never be powerful until we let God be God and jealously guard His honor.

God has a program of character development for each of us. He wants others to look at our lives and say, He walks with God, for he lives like Christ.

Within evangelicalism is a distressing drift toward accepting a Christianity that does not demand a life-changing walk with God. Many evangelicals (today) do not realize that the church has always been an island of righteousness in a sea of paganism, but as a result they turned the world upside-down.

Spiritual maturity is marked by being comfortable with the unpredictability of God.

Paul taught that religions evolved because man did not honor the true God. Because of rebellion, they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of the corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. One characteristic of idolatry is that it always confuses the creature with the creator.

God in His sovereign goodness often uses the painful and at times debilitating injury of a spear thrower to make us readier for His service. ... One thing you discover about spear throwers is that though it’s not necessary for them to be good, it’s essential for them to appear good.

We must worship in truth. Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Psm. 145:18). Worship that is not based on God's Word is but an emotional encounter with oneself.
