What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.

Image
No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.

Image
To be entirely safe from the devil's snares the man of God must be completely obedient to the Word of the Lord. The driver on the highway is safe, not when he reads the signs but when he obeys them.

Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.

Failure to get a right viewpoint in the beginning of our Christian lives may result in weakness and sterility for the rest of our days!

Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down by destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength before going out to face the world again.

...popular fundamentalist theology has emphasized the utility of the cross rather than the beauty of the One who died on it... The work of Christ has been stressed until it has eclipsed the person of Christ.

A church can wither as surely under the ministry of soulless Bible exposition as it can where no Bible is given. To be effective the preacher's message must be alive it must alarm, arouse, challenge it must be God's present voice to a particular people. Then, and not till then, is it the prophetic word and the man himself a prophet.

Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.

I believe in Christian charity, but I don't believe in Christian tolerance... When we become so tolerate that we lead people into mental fog and spiritual darkness, we are not acting like Christians we are acting like cowards!

I am a Bible Christian and if an archangel with a wingspread as broad as a constellation shining like the sun were to come and offer me some new truth, I'd ask him for a reference. If he could not show me where it is found in the Bible, I would bow him out and say, I'm awfully sorry, you don't bring any references with you
