May our needs drive us to Thee and the needs of others drive us to them.

Beware of reasoning about God’s Word. Obey it.

from Disciples Indeed
We have to learn to rely on the Holy Spirit because He alone gives the Word of God life. All our efforts to pump up faith in the Word of God is without quickening, without illumination. You reason to yourself and say, “Now God says this and I am going to believe it,” and you believe it, and re-believe it, and re-re-believe it, and nothing happens, simply because the vital power that makes the words living is not there.
– Oswald Chambers –
from Biblical Ethics
We are not to preach the doing of good things; good deeds are not to be preached, they are to be performed.
