The greatest failure Apart from death, the main thing wrong with this world's behavior is the lack of right standards. This lack of standards springs out of the failure to worship God, the failure to see the priorities of reverence, adoration, holiness, and abhorrence of all idolatry. A train is much longer than the locomotive, but the locomotive provides the motive power. A building is much higher than the foundation, but the foundation is very necessary. A tree is much larger than the root, but it is the root which gives life to the tree.
All Christian behavior springs from a heart that is daily transformed by the vision of the cross.
