It is not enough that we fight a battle, we must defeat an enemy.
It is no enough that we run the race, we must run so that we may obtain the prize.
It is not enough that we have the lamp of profession, we must have the oil of possession.
It is not enough that we build a house, we must build it on the Rock.
It is not enough that we utter prayers by our lips, we must speak to God from our hearts.
It is not enough that we are a candle, we must have a light.
It is not enough that we give our testimony, we must live our testimony.
It is not enough that we see a lighted candle, we must be on the candlestick filling our little place in the church.
It is not enough to be the salt of the earth, we must be the salt that has savor.
It is not enough to go the first mile fulfilling a duty order to be the children of our Father in heaven, we must make demands upon ourselves, put restraints upon ourselves, give beyond what what we think is impossible to give.
Our service must be prompted by love. Ask ourselves honest questions and demand honest answers. We must go beyond, go a little further, dig a little deeper, and climb a little higher.
