We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.

I wish, in America, (that) we were as concerned about separation from church and sin as we are about separation between church and state. Church and sin-- it's a monstrous problem.

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

Gethsemane is where He died the cross is only the evidence.

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.

Image
We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.

You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.

There's one thing that life does where ever it goes- it begats life.

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?

They're called in the Scripture the Beatitudes. You know why they're called the Beatitudes without being prestigious? Because they should be the attitudes of every believer. That's the normal Christian life, not the abnormal Christian life. The normal Christian life is holiness.

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.
