Miscellaneous Quote

Too busy for God? – AB Christiansen

Too busy? O forgive, dear Lord, that I should ever be, too much engrossed in earthly tasks, to spend an hour with thee.

The ONE Goal – Steve Case

Ask missionaries (regardless of age – 12 or 112) and they’ll tell you they have one goal – God. God first. God last. God in all things. Not to go out and feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, make busy with conversion activity, but God first. With God as the goal, the homeless get a roof, the hungry get fed, the cold get warmed, the lonely get a friend, and the wanderer finds a way.

Claiming Bible Verses – Eric Metaxas

Another version of the “Prosperity Gospel” or “Name It and Claim It” teaching has to do with finding a verse in the Bible and then “claiming” that verse. Proponents of this thinking believe that God must fulfill his promise to us in whatever verse we are “claiming”… We need to have faith in what the Bible says, but we have to be careful that we aren’t trying to force God to do what we want. That is arrogance rather than humility. God loves us, but we cannot demand things of him as though our faith is in charge rather than God.
