“The fact that God is witness to our every foible and sin, public and private, should inspire us to vigilance. It should elicit from us confession and repentance. The fact that he witnesses our invisible thoughts before they turn to actions and our words before they are fully formed on our tongues should cause us to think about speaking with care.

The fact that he sees all, yet against all expectation, stands ready to forgive should awaken a gratitude of the deepest kind, a desire to be the same person in public that we are behind closed doors – a person who thinks, acts, and speaks as one who fears the Lord. A person who understands that the limitless presence of God leaves no allowance for a life of practical atheism – professing that an omnipresent God exists and living as if he does not.”
