The church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution for workers it is not a rest camp, it is a front line trench.

I believe the Bible is the word of God from cover to cover.
Billy Sunday

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!

The rivers of America will run with blood filled to their banks before we will submit to them taking the Bible out of our schools.

Get somebody else for Jesus Christ and you will get a new vision of life, a new vision of what it means.
