If you are not being criticized it means you probably aren't doing anything!
If at this moment you are not walking with God and doing God's will, then you are in fact hindering God's great program.
People overreact to extremism and end up in the deep freeze of tradition, judgementalism, legalism, dead orthodoxy and inaction.
Without faith and love your Christianity will be a hollow thing, no matter what its intellectual credibility.
Prayer is at the heart of the action and a world-wide prayer movement must run parallel with any kind of world-wide mission movement.
God can use anyone who loves Jesus.
What we need are tasks in which we can see a combination of the possible and the impossible;. We want to be filled with faith and be realistic.
We are God's chosen people, not frozen people. Let's pray for a defrost!
Prayer is the Christian's vital breath: without it you can't move.
Once we begin to really obey God and hence see fruit in our lives, then we gain a greater assurance.
