Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.

The church as we know it today seems a million miles from the New Testament church. That may be a great generalization, but I will stand on it. There is a gulf between our average Christianity and the church of New Testament that makes the Grand Canyon look like a cavity in someone's tooth.

There is no other way.

One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.

Church unity comes from corporate humility.

Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.

We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.
