If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

A man says to me, 'Can you explain the seven trumpets of the Revelation?' No, but I can blow one in your ear, and warn you to escape from the wrath to come.

Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

To pray is to cast off your burdens, it is to tear away your rags, it is to shake off your diseases, it is to be filled with spiritual vigor, it is to reach the highest point of Christian health.

Man's words are mere breath, but the word of the Lord is spirit and life.

There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
