KNOWLEDGE
OF GOD: CHURCH’S NEED; CHURCH: APATHY

A great Christian of nearly 300 years ago, Nicholas Herman of Lorraine said that in his early Christian life he determined to cut through the tangle of religious means and “nourish his heart on high thoughts of God.” I have always treasured that expression.

A cultivation of God through prayer, humble soul-searching and avid feasting upon the Scriptures would go far to awaken the church.
