I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.

The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!

What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.

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.

I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.

Where there is no passion, the church perishes, even though it be full to the doors.

Isn't it amazing that God gives breath to a man who is going to blaspheme Him all day!

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

This silly world outside thinks it is finished with Jesus Christ but they haven't even started with Him yet.

It is much easier to wear a cross than to bear a cross.

The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.

If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tell you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.
