History is little more than the story of man's sin, and the daily newspaper a running commentary on it.

The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'

When we yield ourselves completely to God, He gives Himself completely to us.

It is doubtful we can be Christian in anything unless we are Christian in everything.

Let us think of a Christian believer in whose life the twin wonders of repentance and the new birth have been wrought. He is now living according to the will of God as he understands it from the written Word. Of such a one it may be said that every act of his life is or can be as truly sacred as prayer or baptism or the Lord's Supper. To say this is not to bring all acts down to one dead level; it is rather to lift every act up into a living kingdom and turn the whole of life into a sacrament.

Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.
