If you want to drive the devil out of the world, hit him with a cradle instead of a crutch

The trouble with many men is that they have got just enough religion to make them miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you have got a leak in your religion.
Billy Sunday
Image
A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!

If good preaching could save the world, it would have been done long ago.
Billy Sunday
Image
Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing - open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way - that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that.
Billy Sunday
Image
Some persons think they have to look like a hedgehog to be pious.

The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still.
