Jesus Greater - Me Less
John 3:27-30
27 To this John replied, “A man can receive only what is
given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the
Christ but am sent ahead of him.’
29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who
attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he
hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
30 He must become greater; I must become less.
'Jesus' Peace
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to
you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be
afraid.
Worship
Many a congregation when it assembles in church must look to
the angels like a muddy, puddly shore at low tide; littered with every kind of
rubbish and odds and ends – a distressing sort of spectacle. And then the tide
of worship comes in, and it’s all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish,
the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing
sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook
on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are
reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty
and Beauty of God. - Evelyn Underhill
Praise is more than singing, it’s the saint reflecting the
life of Christ. - Anonymous
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.

"Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if
you were to die tomorrow." -- Benjamin Franklin
"Our prayers must mean something to us if they are to
mean anything to God."-- Maltbie D. Babcock
"To pray in Jesus' name means to pray in his spirit, in
