Being a king, emperor, or president is mighty small potatoes compared to being a mother.
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!
Billy Sunday
Image
When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.
Billy Sunday
Image
I believe the Bible is the word of God from cover to cover.

They tell me a revival is only temporary so is a bath, but it does you good.

Enthusiasm is as good a thing in the Church as fire is in a cook stove.
Billy Sunday
Image
The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow. It promises prosperity and sends adversity. It promises happiness and sends misery.... It is God's worst enemy and the devil's best friend.
Billy Sunday
Image
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.
Billy Sunday
Image
Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less.
Billy Sunday
Image
Give your face to God, and He will put his shine on it.
Billy Sunday
Image
Jesus gave his life on the cross for any who will believe. We're not redeemed by silver or gold. Jesus paid for it with his blood.
Billy Sunday
Image
The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow.

Sinners cannot find God for the same reason that criminals cannot find a policeman: They aren't looking!
