(W A Criswell) In heaven, our vision will be broadened, our appreciation deepened, and our understanding everlastingly expanded

(A.  Rogers)   You cannot truly celebrate Jesus without losing preoccupation with yourself. You cannot praise and sulk at the same time; you cannot praise and be irritated at the same time; you cannot praise and be filled with fear at the same time

( Rogers) You know, as I have studied the Bible, I have discovered an incredible thing. There is more emphasis in the Bible on praise than there is on prayer. Praise and prayer are so inextricably interwoven that you cannot really do one without the other. Learn to praise God. Make it a holy habit. Roll some of the groanings out of  prayers and shove in some hallilujahs and see what happens.

(Warren Wiersbe) God's work must be done in God's way to have God's blessing

(Wiersbe)  No amount of unity or enthusiasm can compensate for disobedience. When God's work is done in man's way, and we imitate the world instead of obeying the Word, we can never expect the blessing of God. The crowds may approve what we do, but what about the approval of God?

(Wiersbe) Often God's servants go quickly from the glory of the mountain to the shadow of the valley

(Paige Patterson)  Based on Mt. 7-21-23, it is possible to be orthodox but lost

(Patterson) Our service in heaven will be voluntary and spontaneous, arising doubtless from the gratitude to God in the hearts of the citizens of heaven. The tasks are not onerous but fulfilling. The challenges are stupendous but without possibility of failure
