The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

To pray without expectation is to misunderstand the whole concept of prayer and relationship with God.

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?

The widest thing in the universe is not space, it is the potential capacity of the human heart

We are called not to adjust ourselves to each other, but to adjust ourselves to God.

God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.

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.
