I claim the holy right to disappoint men in order to avoid disappointing God.

The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.

We must never rest until everything inside us worships God.

Every advance that we make for God and for His cause must be made at our inconvenience. If it does not inconvenience us at all, there is no cross in it.

The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense.

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him.

What is wrong with Christians today is that we have the gifts of God but have forgotten the God of the gifts.
