We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.

Abounding sin is the terror of the world, but abounding grace is the hope of mankind.

It is necessary for God to use the hammers, the file, and the furnace in His holy work of preparing a saint for true sainthood. It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

No matter what the circumstances, we Christians should keep our heads. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. It is a dismal thing to see a son of heaven cringe in terror before the sons of earth.

If in our Saturday pursuits we're far from God's presence, we're not in very good shape to worship Him on Sunday.

The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians... The 'worship' growing out of such a view of life is as far off center as the view itself - a sort of sanctified nightclub without the champagne and the dressed-up drunks.

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