It is a high Christian privilege to pray for one another within each local church body and then for other believers throughout the world. As a Christian minister, I have no right to preach to people I have not prayed for. That is my strong conviction.

Everything is wrong until Jesus sets it right.

As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor. It can keep a missionary actively winning lost men to the light of the gospel and thus transmute itself into heavenly values. Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.

If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.

Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.

Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].

He had everything, but he possessed nothing. There is the spiritual secret.
