In the Book of Acts faith was for each believer a beginning, not an end; it was a journey, not a bed in which to lie while waiting for the day of our Lord's triumph. Believing was not a once-done act; it was more than an act, it was an attitude of heart and mind which inspired and enabled the believer to take up his cross and follow the Lamb whithersoever He went.

The church that can't worship must be entertained. And leaders who can't lead a church to worship must provide the entertainment.

God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.

I have no doubt that historians will conclude that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.

The Christian church was designed to make sinners sweat. I have always believed that, and I still believe it. The messages preached in our churches should make backslidden Christians sweat. And if I achieve that objective when I preach, I thank God with all of my heart, no matter what people think of me.

Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God.

The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.
