Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.

The Bible without the Holy Spirit is a sundial by moonlight.

A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know.

Give me a man who says this one thing I do, and not those fifty things I dabble in.

What we need as Christians is to be able to feed ourselves. How many there are who sit helpless and listless, with open mouths, hungry for spiritual things, and the minister has to try to feed them, while the Bible is a feast prepared, into which they never venture.
