If your Christianity depends upon a pastor's preaching, then you're a long way from being where you should be.

Faith creates nothing; it simply reckons upon that which is already there.

I cannot recall, in any of my reading, a single instance of a prophet who applied for the job.

Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

The Church can't be a religious theater where paid men perform for the religious amusement of the people who pay them.

God's purpose in redemption is to make worshipers out of rebels.

We are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.
