There is one thing that I fear more than anything else, and that is the dead, cold formalism of the Church of God. So many of us are just sleeping and slumbering while souls are perishing. Some are beginning to rub our eyes and get them half-opened, but as a whole we are asleep.
—D. L. Moody

Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing praises unto our God. It is profitable and advantageous. It is health to the mind. The soul is greatly bettered and advantaged by it. It is an exercise that naturally tends to the spiritual life, to strengthen, confirm and increase it.
—Jonathan Edwards
