God is not obligated to save anybody, to make any special act of grace, to draw anyone to Himself. He could leave the whole world to perish, and such would be a righteous judgment.

Embarrassed
One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.
Leonard Ravenhill
Lifeboat
The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.
Leonard Ravenhill
Half Hearted
“True worship doesn’t put on a show or make a fuss; true worship isn’t forced, isn’t half-hearted, doesn’t keep looking at its watch, doesn’t worry what the person in the next pew is doing. True worship is open to God, adoring God, waiting for God, trusting God even in the dark.”
N.T. Wright
Not Ready
“I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.”
A.W. Tozer
The Program
“I wonder if there was ever a time when true spiritual worship was at a lower ebb. To great sections of the church, the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the “program.” This word has been borrowed from the stage and applied with sad wisdom to the public service which now passes for worship among us.”
A.W. Tozer
No People
“There will be no people in heaven who want to be around their things more than Jesus.”
John Piper
God Allows
Sometimes God allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves.
