Trying to run a church without revivals can be done when you can run a gasoline engine on buttermilk.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.

Unless you have made a complete surrender and are doing his will it will avail you nothing if you've reformed a thousand times and have your name on fifty church records.

I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names.

I don't believe there are devils enough in hell to pull a boy out of the arms of a godly mother.

Listen, if I heard shrieks and cries coming from a house and I ran in there and I found a great big broad shouldered whiskey soaked Joe weasel, dragging his wife about by the hair, and over here, two children are unconscious from his blows and kicks and another one screaming in terror, do you think I would apologize for being there? No! I'd knock 7 kinds of pork out of that old hog.

The trouble with many men is that they have got just enough religion to make them miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you have got a leak in your religion.
