Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?

The understanding soul prays; the praying soul gets understanding.

What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them; they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.

Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.

The true Church is born from above. In it there are no sinners, and outside of it no saints. No man can put another's name on its member's roll; and no man can cross another's name off that roll.

Nobody stood by Jesus. Maybe nobody will stand by you. It's a lonely life, but it's a glorious life.
