Men Who Cannot Lead Worship Must Entertain
The church that can’t worship must be entertained. And men who can’t lead the church to worship must provide the entertainment.
Becoming Better and Better at Worship
The quality of our worship is stepped up as we move away from the thought of what God has done for us and nearer the thought of the excellence of His holy nature.
Great Hymns of the Faith
Great hymns form footprints of past saints who have walked through the valleys and on the mountain-tops of the Christian life. They assure us of God’s grace and love. They aid us in verbalizing our praise, worship, and prayer.
What Good Is Doctrine?
A doctrine has practical value only as far as it is prominent in our thoughts and makes a difference in our lives.
Not Diplomats But Prophets
We who preach the Gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.
Worship Closes the Gap
Worship seeks union with its beloved, and an active effort to close the gap between the heart and the God it adores is worship at its best.
The Purpose of a Good Book
The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life…. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eyes toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.
