It's hard to rest knowing that millions of people merely carry on religious traditions but don't actually reach God.

Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.

There has been grave error. I do not mean so much error of doctrine as error of emphasis.

Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity.

Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.

The Church can't be a religious theater where paid men perform for the religious amusement of the people who pay them.

Jesus our Lord is Prophet, Priest, and King. The concept is not new, yet many preachers never preach it, and many congregations never hear it.

If you do not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him on one day a week. There is no such thing known in heaven as Sunday worship unless it is accompanied by Monday worship and Tuesday worship and so on.

Faith never means gullibility. The man who believes everything is as far from God as the man who refuses to believe anything.

The notion that the careless sinner is the smart fellow and the serious-minded Christian, though well-intentioned, is a stupid dolt altogether out of touch with life will not stand up under scrutiny. Sin is basically an act of moral folly, and the greater the folly the greater the fool.

Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.
