One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.

Image
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.

Image
Our Lord sent His disciples out as sheep among wolves now the wolves are being invited into the sheepfold.

Christ is most concerned with the direction in which you habitually are going and not with a spasmodic eruption either good or bad.
Vance Havner
Image
One of the greatest errors in the church today is the artificial distinction we have created between accepting Christ as Savior and confessing Him as Lord. We have made two experiences of it, but the New Testament makes them one.
Vance Havner
Image
We need to take down our Do not disturb signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.

Image
A mortician can make a dead man look better than he ever did when he was alive. So churches like Sardis may appear very much alive when they are dead in the sight of the Lord. God knows the difference.

No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
