Talk to a person about his hero and you will find him most eloquent in speaking of the heroism of the one he adores. But, mention the name of God to this same person, you will realize that his heart contains no feelings to express about Almighty God. Have they not experienced the glory of God, which they could share with others? Alas! Those people who have volumes in praise of man, but not even a few words in praise of God. They are storehouses of knowledge about people, but they have no knowledge about their awesome Creator that should flow from their tongues and pens. Are their hearts withered of all faith? Have they not experienced the glory of God, which they could share with others? Have people not witnessed the power of God and the perfection in His creation? Do they only have knowledge of creation and no knowledge at all of the Majesty and bounty of God? o Keep Your Word Not fulfilling promises is an extremely bad habit. It is so bad that even the breaking of a small promise is as serious in nature as the breaking of the big kind.
