This generation is possibly the first one in which action has been emphasized and valued more than contemplation. Today we think contemplation wastes time, produces nothing, and bumps awkwardly into our schedules. A devotional life is a questionable priority for most successful people today. But are we “successful” Christians if we are so busy organizing and propagating the Christian faith that we really do not know God personally and intimately?” by James Houston

Was pleased to hear a gentleman’s discourse for some time of the utter inability of anything to make us happy but God. My subject was, the eternity of hell's torments, and I was earnest in delivering it, being desirous that none of my dear hearers should experience them. God grant that I may die daily! O, who can serve a better Master than Jesus Christ?  from A.W. Tozer
What a man is comes first in the sight of God. What he does is determined by what he is, so is is of the first importance. The fundamental be must be sanctified if we would have a righteous do, for being and doing are related as cause and effect, as father and son. God wants worshipers before workers; indeed the only acceptable workers are those who have learned the lost art of worship. It is inconceivable that a sovereign and holy God should be so hard up for workers that he would press into service anyone who had been empowered regardless of his moral qualification. |
