We should no more tolerate false doctrine than we would sin. ~J.C. Ryle~
The world thinks -- if we make God less than He is by our words, definitions, thoughts, and attitudes, then by doing so we render Him powerless over us. Unfortunately, denying God's existence won't reduce His grandeur or authority by one iota.

"God I believe in you -- now give me what I want!" He is God and we're not. He knows things we don't and He sees things we can't. We must place our cares and concerns upon Him -- then trust Him. We honor and glorify God, not with just our words, but also our faith.

“If you want your life to flow more smoothly—if you want to be more productive, and learn to be more selective, and your prayers to be more effective—then live in the zone: Abide in Christ.” —Steve May
If there be ground for you to trust in your own righteousness, then all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it, is in vain. ~Jonathan Edwards~
There are many humble, faithful Christian leaders. Unfortunately, there are also leaders who seek attention. Pride sets them up for a fall and dishonors the Lord. Jesus calls us to be light directing people to Him, not shining a spotlight on ourselves.

“This is one problem Jesus came into the world to redress, He let us crucify Him to show us how much we push everyone away, even the Son of God. As the dust settled on Calvary, some of us realized what we were missing. We realized how much we wanted love and how much He wanted us. And so we invited Him to come back and live in our hearts...and something wonderful happened. We began to wake up to how badly we’d been treating people and how much we missed each other. We began to want one another with deep, pure love. And so the church was born.”

You might as well hope to get to heaven by flying up in a balloon, as to get there by your own good works.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
we are fighting for lives. We would not be surprised to see a fireman enter a burning building to save a life -- why should we not be willing to engage in conversations with friends and loved ones which can have eternal consequences?
