Billy Sunday

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

Religion needs a baptism of horse sense.
Billy Sunday
Image
Some ministers say, 'If you don't repent you'll die and go to a place the name of which I can't pronounce.' I can! You'll go to hell!
Billy Sunday

The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.
Billy Sunday
Image
God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.
Billy Sunday

The world is wrong side up. It needs to be turned upside down in order to be right side up.

Give your face to God, and He will put his shine on it.
