Doesn't every encounter with God only cause us to thirst for Him more?
Francis Chan

He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving [than we do to ask Him]. As much as we want God to explain himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us.

We have become dangerously comfortable- believers ooze with wealth and let their addictions to comfort and security numb the radical urgency of the gospel.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.
