Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.

Getting Back on Track
To my Life Is Worship readers, thank you for your patience. The nasty flu that’s been going around knocked me back about 10 feet. I was down for the count for two weeks and played catch up for the next two. Then several other events occurred all at the same time, conspiring to keep me from blogging.
I will renew my efforts tomorrow (February 21). Thank you for being patient.
God bless!
Matt

[T]he greater the corruption of society, the more need for holy men and women to live in that society. The world can only become darker by the withdrawing of its lights and more corrupt through the gathering away of the salt scattered over it.
Spiros Zodhiates, The Beatitudes: The Pursuit of Happiness (Chattanooga: AMG Publishers, 1998), 249.
Pastor, Get Ready to Preach Next Sunday!
No sermon is ready for preaching, not ready for writing out, until we can express its theme in a short, pregnant sentence clear as a crystal.

Right Now Counts for Eternity
Life on this Earth matters. What we do here touches strings that reverberate for all eternity.
Randy Alcorn, Heaven (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale, 2004), 351.
Prayer: Mounting on Eagle’s Wings
To pray is to mount on eagle’s wings above the clouds and get into the clear heaven where God dwelleth.

Winter Prepares Us for Spring
The winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.
