A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.

All nature has come to expect from God a sense of orderliness. Whatever God does carry with it His fingerprint. And in the world around us His fingerprint of orderliness is evident to anybody who is honest with the facts. If you look at nature, you will discover a mathematical exactness. Without this precision, the entire world would be in utter confusion. One plus one always equals two no matter what part of the universe you happen to be in. And the laws of nature operate in beautiful harmony, a harmony that is ordered by God Himself.

Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one

A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.

Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.

As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal there will be those who will delight to offer affront to your idol.

As the sailor locates his position on the sea by "shooting" the sun, so we may get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God.

A superior brain without the saving essence of godliness may turn against the human race and drench the world in blood, or worse, it may lose ideas into the earth which will continue to curse mankind for centuries after it has turned to dust again.

As water cannot rise higher than its source, so the moral quality in an act can never be higher than the motive that inspires it. For this reason no act that arises from an evil motive can be good, even though some good may appear to come out of it. Every deed done out of anger or spite, for instance, will be found at last to have been done for the enemy and against the kingdom of God.

Because God has been reduced in the minds of people, they do not have that boundless confidence in His character that used to be prominent among Christians. Confidence is necessary to respect. You cannot respect a man in whom you have no confidence. Extend that respect upward to God and if you cannot respect God, you cannot worship Him. You cannot have confidence in Him, because where there is no respect there can be no worship.
