“These Israelites had the right Bible and the right words, but they were living under the influence of a god they had invented. They had made a god that looked like them. Because of God's delayed wrath, the Jews assumed that He thought about sin the same way they did. Because their refashioned god was just fine with their choices, they could continue to attend religious services while living for themselves. It is a frightening reality--throughout the centuries, many people have held the right book in their hands and worshipped a man-made god in their hearts.”

“What is required to get a group of people to pray? They must see how big God is and how little they are. This will produce an awareness of their need. They will be deeply troubled. Yet they must also see that God is truly willing to hear the prayers of people like them. If either is missing, they will not approach the throne of grace. If both are believed, they will pray no matter how inconvenient the time. You will not be able to stop them.”

“We may be tempted to think of Christianity primarily as 'I must...,' but that is not the starting place. You cannot make yourself a child of God by doing the things that a child of God does, anymore than you could make yourself an heir to Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain by walking around in royal clothes and waving kindly at people. The duty of the Christian life--the 'I must...,'--is caused by something else. We may think of the Christian life as primarily about 'He has.' The work of God for our salvation is certainly a significant part of Christianity and is the reason that we are able to live a life of obedience. But even 'He has...' is not the foundation of Christianity, for that itself is built upon a larger and deeper foundation. The greatest truth of Christianity is summed up in the words 'He is.”
