The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly be a theological wilderness.

Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.

Whoever will listen will hear the speaking heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

As long as we think we own anything, that thing owns us. As soon as we know that we own nothing, then God owns us.

God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.

Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

Most Christians don't hear God's voice because we've already decided we aren't going to do what He says.

The gravest question any of us face is whether we do or do not love the Lord.

Any belief that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief it is a pseudo belief only.

If in our Saturday pursuits we're far from God's presence, we're not in very good shape to worship Him on Sunday.

Men are not revived because they sing they sing because they are revived.

It is quite impossible to worship God without loving Him.

I have no doubt that historians will conclude that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.

God does not stop at rescuing us the purpose of that rescue is to enjoy fellowship with us.

The importance of coming into God's presence is worth overcoming all obstacles along the way.

One of the most popular current errors, and the one out of which springs most of the noisy, blustering religious activity in evangelical circles, is the notion that as times change the church must change with them.

Breezy, self-confident Christians tell us how wonderful it is to accept Christ and then have a good time all the rest of your life the Lord won't demand anything of you. Yes, He will, my friend! The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not.

The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.

To men and women everywhere Jesus says, Come unto me, and I will give you rest. The rest He offers is the rest of meekness, the blessed relief which comes when we accept ourselves for what we are and cease to pretend.
