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

Until self-effacing men return again to spiritual leadership, we may expect a progressive deterioration in the quality of popular Christianity year after year till we reach the point where the grieved Holy Spirit withdraws - like the Shekinah from the temple.

By nature, worship is not some performance we do, but a presence we experience.

An honest man is strange when he is among dishonest men, but it is a good kind of strangeness.

We who live in this nervous age would be wise to meditate on our lives and our days long and often before the face of God and on the edge of eternity. For we are made for eternity as certainly as we are made for time, and as responsible moral beings we must deal with both.

The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed.

The doctrine of the Trinity...is truth for the heart. The fact that it can not be satisfactorily explained, instead of being against it, is in its favor. Such a truth had to be revealed no one could imagine it.

God expects us to measure the church not against tradition but against the standards & promises of His Word.

The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed. Think whether much of your sorrow has not arisen from someone speaking slightingly of you. As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal, how can you hope to find inward peace?

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its faith not in the living God, but in dying men.

Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.

What do we value most? What would we most hate to lose? What do our thoughts turn to most frequently when we are free to think of what we will? And finally, what affords us the greatest pleasure?
