Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.

Image
The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source.

Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.

Churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.

God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'

The meetings least attended in our churches today are the ones whose only attraction is God.

To me, it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.

Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.

The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.

Speaking as a minister it is my strong feeling that no man has a right to preach to a crowd that he has not prayed for.

It is possible that we can get so busy doing work 'for' the Lord that we have no time FOR the Lord.

An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.

The only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar was the cross on which Jesus Christ died. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him on it, and God, in His majesty and mystery, turned it into an altar. The Lamb who was dying in the mystery and wonder of God was turned into the Priest who offered Himself. No one else was a worthy offering.
