The Church can't be a religious theater where paid men perform for the religious amusement of the people who pay them.

To escape the error of salvation by works we have fallen into the opposite error of salvation without obedience.

In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.

If you cannot worship the Lord in the midst of your responsibilitie s on Monday, it is not very likely that you were worshiping on Sunday!

No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God.

It's not my business to try and make God think like me... but to try, in prayer and penitence, to think like God.

The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
