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

In coming to Christ we don't bring our old life up to a higher plane; we leave it at the cross.

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.

Our pursuit of God is successful just because He is forever seeking to manifest Himself to us.

The fruit is what really matters, not how gnarly or beautiful the apple tree is.

To know the Creator and the God of all the universe is to revere Him. It is to bow down before Him in wonder and awesome fear.
