The scriptures are in print what Christ is in person.

The best preparation for worship is not a rehearsal, but surrender.

Men are not revived because they sing; they sing because they are revived.

If man had written the Gospels - say Shakespeare or Eugene O'Neill - the story of the gospel would have been drastically different. They would have placed the prince in halls and palaces and had him walking among the great. They would have had him surrounded by the important and significant of the time. Potentates and kings would have been His companions. But how sweetly common was the real God-man; though He had inhabited all eternity, He had come down and was subject to the rising and the setting of the sun.

The atonement in Jesus Christ's blood is perfect; there isn't anything that can be added to it. It is spotless, impeccable, flawless. It is perfect as God is perfect.

We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

We must invite the Cross to do its deadly work within before we can be free.
