Now, brethren, this is one of our greatest faults in our Christian lives. We are allowing too many rivals of God. We actually have too many gods. We have too many irons in the fire. We have too much theology that we don't understand. We have too much churchly institutionalism. We have too much religion. Actually, I guess we just have too much of too much.

The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.

It appears that too many Christians want to enjoy the thrill of feeling right but are not willing to endure the inconvenience of being right.

The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us.

Let God be true but every man a liar" is the language of true faith

Any sermon that is not birthed in prayer is not a message from God no matter how learned the preacher.

It is necessary for God to use the hammers, the file, and the furnace in His holy work of preparing a saint for true sainthood. It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
