The poor quality of Christian that grows out of our modern evangelistic meeting may be accounted for by the absence of real repentance accompanying the initial spiritual experience of the converts. And the absence of repentance is the result of an inadequate view of sin and sinfulness held by those who present themselves in the inquiry room.

The church can have light only as it is full of the Spirit, and it can be full only as the members that compose it are filled individually.

O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may behold Thee in and around me. For Christ's sake, Amen.

I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.

As Christians, we are not to be people without feelings.

I believe that entertainment and amusements are the work of the Enemy to keep dying men from knowing they're dying and to keep enemies of God from remembering that they're enemies.

The Christian church was designed to make sinners sweat. I have always believed that, and I still believe it. The messages preached in our churches should make backslidden Christians sweat. And if I achieve that objective when I preach, I thank God with all of my heart, no matter what people think of me.

Faith never means gullibility. The man who believes everything is as far from God as the man who refuses to believe anything.

Christ calls us to carry the Cross churches call us to have fun in His name.

To pray without expectation is to misunderstand the whole concept of prayer and relationship with God.
