BACH: THE GLORY OF GOD
Johann Sebastian Bach said, "All music should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the soul's refreshment; where this is not remembered there is no real music but only a devilish hub-bub."
He headed his compositions: "J. J." "Jesus Juva" which means "Jesus

GOD'S STANDARD FOR SIN
At a former church, a youth leader came up to me one day and said, "I'm trying to figure out the way God judges sin. The best I can figure it, I assume he grades on the curve like they do at school. You know, 70% good is a passing grade."

A CHILD'S VIEW OF GOD

Philip Yancey writes in his book, Prayer, that
“… Keeping company with God also includes expressing the times of trial and frustration. In Fiddler on the Roof, Tevye keeps up a running dialogue with God, giving credit for the good things but also lamenting all that goes wrong.

Her name will never be in the history books, but it is written in the Book of Life. She was never an item in the newspaper, but she was God’s reporter, telling His good news. She never had much formal education, but like her Lord she taught with authority from her own experience of God’s grace.

THAT’S NOT MY GOD
Years ago I lead this bible study for a group of men, it was a great to study with these guys. We had this one guy who every time he saw something in a passage that did not correspond to his philosophy of life he would say, “That’s not my god, he would never do that, my god would

A little girl had a dad who was a pastor.
“Daddy, how do you know what to preach on Sundays?”
“God tells me,” responded the dad.
“Then daddy, why do you crinkle up so many sheets of paper and toss them into the waste basket?”
We are much better off saying, “I think God wants me to tell you this”

Illustration About Praising God in Worship
There’s the story of a church in an old town that was very sophisticated, dignified, and quiet. One day a visitor showed up in worship. When the preacher began to preach and say something like God is a good God, the visitor would shout, “Praise the Lord,”
