One thing the young Christian should be taught as quickly as possible after his conversion is that Jesus Christ is all he needs.

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 has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. The man who would know God must give time to Him.

If we try to obey without faith, we get nowhere. If we try to have faith without obedience, it ends in nothing.

Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they found Him, the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking.

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

The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, God. The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.

Our problem is that we go from toy to toy rather than from glory to glory.

God formed us for His pleasure, and so formed us that we as well as He can in divine communion enjoy the sweet and mysterious mingling of kindred personalities. He meant us to see Him and live with Him and draw our life from His smile.

An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.

Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh....Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services.

The pain of sacrificing our old selves is nothing compared to the joy of Christ living in us in our transformed lives.

I remind you that there are churches so completely out of the hands of God that if the Holy Spirit withdrew from them, they wouldn't find it out for many months

Faith is not merely a journey for the feet, but it is also a journey for the heart.

His words are the essence of truth...Jesus never uttered opinions. He never guessed He knew, and He knows.

As the excellence of steel is strength, and the excellence of art is beauty, so the excellence of mankind is moral character.
