Prayer is no substitute for work equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

Where,oh,where are the eternity-conscious believers? Where are the souls white-hot for God because they fear His holy name and presence and so live with eternity's values in view?

Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.

The true Church is born from above. In it there are no sinners, and outside of it no saints. No man can put another's name on its member's roll and no man can cross another's name off that roll.

Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

There's one thing we need above everything else it's something we don't talk about these days. We need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin.
