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.

It is possible that we can get so busy doing work 'for' the Lord that we have no time FOR the Lord.

I say that a Christian congregation can survive and often appear to prosper in the community by the exercise of human talent and without any touch from the Holy Spirit! All that religious activity and the dear people will not know anything better until the great and terrible day when our self-employed talents are burned with fire and only that which was wrought by the Holy Ghost will stand forever!

May God deliver us from the easygoing, smooth, comfortable Christianity that never lets the truth get hold of us.

The ideal leader is one who hears the voice of God, and beckons on as the voice calls him and them.

The Bible was written in tears, and to tears it yields its best treasures.

If your life does not worship God, your lips do not worship God either.
