Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.

Image
Let the fires go out in the boiler room of the church and the place will still look smart and clean, but it will be cold. The Prayer Room is the boiler room for its spiritual life.

The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.

Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?
