I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible.

America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.
Felix Dennis

Progress, in the sense of acquisition, is something; but progress in the sense of being, is a great deal more.
