A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.

If we truly worship God, acknowledging and adoring his infinite worth, we find ourselves impelled to make him known to others, in order that they may worship him too. Thus worship leads to witness, and witness in its turn to worship, in a perpetual circle.

No man has ever appreciated the gospel until the law has first revealed him to himself. It is only against the inky blackness of the night sky that the stars begin to appear, and it is only against the dark background of sin and judgment that the gospel shines forth.

Nothing is more important for mature Christian discipleship than a fresh, clear, true vision of the authentic Jesus.

Probably the greatest tragedy of the church throughout its long and checkered history has been its constant tendency to conform to the prevailing culture instead of developing a Christian counter-culture .

The reason I am a Christian is not that it is nice, but that it is true.

It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.
