Men who refuse to worship the true God now worship themselves with tender devotion.

One of the greatest foes of the Christian is religious complacency.. Orthodox Christianity has fallen to its present low estate from lack of spiritual desire. Among the many who profess the Christian faith, scarcely one in a thousand reveals any passionate thirst for God.

If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him.

Many's very human habit of trusting in himself is generally the last great obstacle blocking his pathway to victory in Christian experience.

Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be.
