I'm short enough and ugly enough to succeed on my own.
I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Oh my friends, we are loaded with countless church activities, while the real work of the church, that of evangelizing and winning the lost is almost entirely neglected.
Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls, are perishing all around us, going out into the blackness of darkness and despair, eternally lost, and yet to feel no anguish, shed no tears, know no travail! How little we know of the compassion of Jesus!
We talk of the second coming, half the world has never heard of the first.
I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The world must be left outside until God alone fills the vision. . . God has promised to answer prayer. It is not that He is unwilling, for the fact is, He is more willing to give than we are to receive. But the trouble is, we are not ready. . .
Any church that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist.
Nothing is more powerful and liberating than knowledge.
Sometimes we are simply "blown away" and in awe by finding ourselves in the presence of God. Other times, however, even when we are participating in acts of kindness-complimenting others, writing a check to charity, donating time to a good cause-we are oblivious to the miracle of what is happening at that moment.
I am waylaid by beauty.
Clergy are men as well as other folks.
