Any method of evangelism will work—if God is in it.

If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.

But have we Holy Ghost power — power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds, and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?

A saint is good when nobody is looking.

The tragedy in our colleges and seminaries right now is that we turn men out who know the word of God. That is never going to turn the world. The question is not whether they know the Word of God.... The question is......Do they know the God of the Word?

This much is sure in all churches, forgetting party labels the smallest meeting numerically is the prayer-meeting. If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.

Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

You won't become a saint by studying your Bible you'll become a saint by living it.

Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.

The less power a church has, the more entertainment it has.
