It is not what you have on you, but what you have in you.
Billy Sunday

When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.

At Kansas City, Kansas, before the saloons were closed, they were getting ready to build an addition to the jail. Now the doors swing idly on the hinges and there is nobody to lock in the jails.

If good preaching could save the world, it would have been done long ago.
Billy Sunday

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
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.

If you don't do your part, don't blame God.
Billy Sunday

I am the sworn, eternal and uncompromising enemy of the liquor traffic.
Billy Sunday

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
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!

Churches don't need new members half so much as they need the old bunch made over.

We have a God who delights in impossibilities.
