As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.
If God is the Creator of the entire universe, then it must follow that He is the Lord of the whole universe. No part of the world is outside of His lordship. That means that no part of my life must be outside of His lordship.
Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him...

Here then is the real problem of our negligence.

Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy.
