  7. “Who will deny that true religion consists, in a great measure, in vigorous and lively actings of the inclination and will of the soul, or the fervent exercises of the heart? That religion which God requires, and will accept, does not consist in weak, dull, and lifeless, wishes, raising us but a little above a state of indifference. ”  Jonathan Edwards 19th century

  8. Truth without emotion produces dead orthodoxy and a church full of artificial admirers ... On the other hand, emotion without truth produces empty frenzy and cultivates shallow people who refuse the discipline of rigorous thought." John Piper Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church

  9. 6. A heart that turns to God on my bed. “On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.” 63:6 Having an awareness of God when I rise and when I sleep.
