“What I find disturbing in America is the consuming desire for leisure, convenience, and fun. It seems we, as a nation, have traded God for gadgets. We have traded eternal truth for momentary self-gratification—worshipping false gods of materialism and humanism instead of the Creator of all things.”

“Some people have a warped idea of living the Christian life. Seeing talented, successful Christians, they attempt to imitate them.

They have forgotten that they are here to serve Christ, not themselves.”
