Lightbulb and Gateway

September 9, 2022 1 By Phil Bickel

“It is my prayer that the evangelical church will discover that salvation is not a lightbulb only, not an insurance policy against hell, but a gateway into God and into his heart.”    — A. W. Tozer

“When I read that statement. I asked myself: Do I want to go to heaven primarily to avoid hell or primarily to be with God? Do I serve the Lord so he will serve me or because I want to glorify him and advance his kingdom? Do I pray so God will answer my prayers or so I can be with my Father? Do I begin the day with worship so God will bless the rest of my day or because I simply want to be in the presence of Jesus?” — James Denison

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”  — Edward Everett Hale
