“Dwight L. Moody, a great evangelist and Christian educator of the late nineteenth century, used to say, “The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.” It was given to change our character and bring it more into conformity with Jesus Christ.

We must “not merely listen to the word,” but we are to “do what it says” (James 1:22).”

People often blame God for hurts caused by others. This creates what William Backus calls “your hidden rift with God.”

It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you!
