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.

If there is one single reason why good people turn evil, it is because they fail to recognize God’s ownership over their kingdom, their vocation, their resources, their abilities, and above all their lives.

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.

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.

Every time we love, we increase our capacity to be hurt.

If we haven't learned to be worshipers it doesn't really matter how well we do anything else. Worship changes us or it has not been worship. To stand before the Holy One of eternity is to change. Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience.

Forgiveness is always free. But that doesn't mean that confession is always easy. Sometimes it is hard. Incredibly hard. It is painful to admit our sins and entrust ourselves to God's care.
