The Supremacy of Christ
I usually post a video of a hymn or song, but today I will part from this usual practice. I think you will understand why when you watch the video.
The Real Test of Being in the Presence of God
The real test of being in the presence of God is, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object.

Do You Think You Are Alright?
A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right

Blind to One’s Own Blindness
When you are physically blind, you know that you are blind, and you do things to compensate for this significant physical deficit. But spiritually blind people are not only blind; they are blind to their own blindness. They are blind, but they think that they see well. So the spiritually blind person walks around with the delusion that on one has a more accurate view of him than he does. He thinks he sees and is unaware of the powerfully important things in his hear that he absolutely does not see at all.

God’s Attitude Toward Us
In this world where men forget us, change their attitude toward us as their private interests dictate, and revise their opinion of us for the slightest cause, is it not a source of wondrous strength to know that the God with whom we have to do changes not? That His attitude toward us now is the same as it was in eternity past and will be in eternity to come.
A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy (New York: HarperCollins, 1961), 53.
Performance or Preaching?
As long as our feelings about how we did are tied only to our performance a the moment, then the moment won’t count for much…. At some point we’ve got to begin caring more for people in the audience than the person on the platform.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure
The Power and the Desire To Do What We Ought To Do
Man’s freedom consists in his liberty to choose his master, not to be without a master. As he voluntarily yields himself to God’s service, the believer finds power and the desire to do what he ought to do, so experiencing true liberty.
D. Edmond Hiebert, The Thessalonian Epistles (Chicago: Moody Press, 1982), 69.
