I am among those who believe that our Western civilization is on its way to perishing. It has many commendable qualities, most of which it has borrowed from the Christian ethic, but it lacks the element of moral wisdom that would give it permanence. Future historians will record that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.

To know that God thinks about me is the beginning of my journey of faith.

If your Christianity depends upon a pastor's preaching, then you're a long way from being where you should be.

What has the church gained if it is popular but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?

I accomplish more when I rest wholly in the labor of Jesus than I do when I frantically try to do the work for Him.

What God declares the believing heart confesses without the need of further proof. Indeed, to seek proof is to admit doubt, and to obtain proof is to render faith superfluous.

The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds; the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly be a theological wilderness.
