Whom God would use greatly He will hurt deeply.

Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us.

The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, "God." The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.

Failure to get a right viewpoint in the beginning of our Christian lives may result in weakness and sterility for the rest of our days!

Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

I do not think I exaggerate when I say that some of us put our offering in the plate with a kind of triumphant bounce as much as to say: "There - now God will feel better!" I am obliged to tell you that God does not need anything you have. He does not need a dime of your money. It is your own spiritual welfare at stake in such matters as these. You have the right to keep what you have all to yourself - but it will rust and decay, and ultimately ruin you.

Quoting Scripture leads you to the fountain, but only if you plunge in and come up wet will I know that you are a Christian.
