If the power of the Holy Spirit is being manifest in those churches with which we find so much fault, how great must be the faults in those churches where the power of the Holy Spirit is not being manifest. Faith is our bridge between experience and hope. Worry is borrowing trouble at an exorbitant rate of interest. Serving God is not a burden to those who consider it a privilege. The more we argue with our conscience, the less it will argue back.
Belief always precedes behavior.
But behavior must also follow belief or it is sterile. Faith is acting on something we believe but have not yet experienced. If you want more of God, give Him more of yourself. If you want to be a new person in Christ, trade in the old one. Death is hardest for those to whom the world has meant the most.
