God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The gospel does not say, 'There is a Savior, if you wish to be saved;' but, 'Sir, you have no right to go to hell — you cannot go there without trampling on the Son of God' (John Duncan).
Oh, how God’s church needs leaders who model persistent prayer, whose prayers glow with fervency, and who authentically believe God hears and cares. And how our spirits soar when leaders model vibrant praise and worship to God, who are unashamed to throw back their heads open their mouths, and let their adoration – even their tears – flow in free and authentic worship (Lynn Anderson).
