We are creating many para-church organizations, and some new studies claim that if we look at the statistics, we will see that Christians are not leaving Christianity as much as they are realigning with groups that live Christian values in the world, instead of just gathering to again hear the readings, recite the creed, and sing songs on Sunday.

One day God will review your answers to these life questions. Did you put Jesus at the center of your life? Did you develop his character? Did you devote your life to serving others? Did you communicate his message and fulfill his mission? Did you love and participate in his family? These are the only issues that will count. As Paul said, "Our goal is to measure up to God's plan for us."21

my love cannot negate the words of my mouth and the righteousness I require.

You can pray until you faint, but unless you get up and try to do something, God is not going to put it in your lap.

It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but actually to be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name.

Prayer in action is love, love in action is service.

The open secret of many Bible believing Churches is that a vanishingly small percentage of those talking about prayer and Bible reading are actually doing what they are talking about.

See that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.

It is not well for a man to pray cream and live skim milk.

Prayer and sacrifice can touch souls better than words.

Always look for ways to act upon the faith you display in your prayers.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
