Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamous gospel ,but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel! 5 minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!

If I don't believe the Word of God, why should you believe it? If we don't believe it, why should the world believe us?

They're called in the Scripture the Beatitudes. You know why they're called the Beatitudes without being prestigious? Because they should be the attitudes of every believer. That's the normal Christian life, not the abnormal Christian life. The normal Christian life is holiness.

My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF...my GOD.

Where,oh,where are the eternity-conscious believers? Where are the souls white-hot for God because they fear His holy name and presence and so live with eternity's values in view?

A sinning man stops praying; a praying man stops sinning.

John the Baptist never performed any miracles. Yet, he was greater than any of the Old Testament prophets.
