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.

Image
We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.

The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home. If it takes two cups of coffee to make you fit to live with, you had better go to the mourner's bench.

There is great need today for the New Testament prophet who speaks to edification, exhortation, and comfort, a strengthening, stirring and soothing ministry.

Image
We are challenged these days, but not changed convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not and thereby we deceive ourselves.

The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.

To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
