We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.

Every Christian is a priest, not offering a sacrifice for sins - since that has been done once and for all - but offering his person, praise and possessions.

I know that some are always studying the meaning of the fourth toe of the right foot of some beast in prophecy and have never used either foot to go and bring men to Christ. I do not know who the 666 is in Revelation but I know the world is sick, sick, sick and the best way to speed the Lord's return is to win more souls for Him.

We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism we died with Christ and rose to new life.

You can't preach it like it is if you don't believe it like it was.

Revival is simply New Testament Christianity, the saints going back to normal.

I preach on specific sins because people are not convicted by sermons on sin in general. It was when our Lord said to the Samaritan woman, 'Go call thy husband...' (John 4:16), that she really faced up to her sinfulness.

God has a place and purpose for you, somewhere for you to be and something for you to do. You never will be happy elsewhere, nor can you please God anywhere but there.

Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.

Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.

Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.

If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.

It is a matter of whether one wants to get rich or be rich. We can be rich in Christ Jesus or perhaps get rich in Egypt, but we cannot do both.
