You see, this is the position that God's been in Might say, 'Well, if God's running things He's doing a lousy job of it.'

When the Holy Ghost takes over your life, you will be different.

We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, "I am." The moment you feel "I am," you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?

God, When I was alone, and had nothing, I asked for a friend to help me bear the pain, No one came, except God, When I needed a breath to rise, from my sleep, No one could help me.. except God, When all I saw was sadness, and I needed answers, No one heard me, except God, So when I'm asked.. who I give my unconditional love to? I look for no other name, except God

I didn’t want us to be swallowed up in God. I wanted holidays from the school of Christ.
