Everything is wrong until Jesus sets it right.

The problem of why God created the universe still troubles thinking men; but if we cannot know why, we can at least know that He did not bring His worlds into being to meet some unfulfilled need in Himself, as a man might build a house to shelter him against the winter cold or plant a field of corn to provide him with necessary food. The word 'necessary' is wholly foreign to God.

One compromise here, another there and soon enough the so-called Christian and the man in the world look the same.

The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.

As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor. It can keep a missionary actively winning lost men to the light of the gospel and thus transmute itself into heavenly values. Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.

No one will make progress with God until our eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves!

Honesty that can be trusted and respected is a very fragrant flower in the life of a Christian.
