We may not preach a crucified Savior without being also crucified men and women. It is not enough to wear an ornamental cross as a pretty decoration. The cross that Paul speaks about was burned into his very flesh, was branded into his being, and only the Holy Spirit can burn the true cross into our innermost life.
A. B. SimpsonGod requires no person to spend his or her life reiterating the gospel to people who will not receive it. He wants everyone to have an opportunity to hear. Then He would have us move on to other areas. The mistake of the church has been that she sits down to convert all the people in one country to the neglect of the great masses who have never had the chance to hear the gospel - not even once!
A. B. SimpsonIf God's Word is not absolutely and completely true, it is too weak a cable to fix our anchorage and guarantee our eternal peace.
A. B. SimpsonOne bright and thankful look at the cross is worth a thousand morbid, self-condemning reflections.
