People are often unhappy in the Christian life because they have thought of Christianity, and the whole message of the gospel, in inadequate terms.

What is preaching? Logic on fire! Preaching is theology coming through a man who is on fire. A true understanding and experience of the Truth must lead to this. I say again that a man who can speak about these things dispassionately has no right whatsoever to be in a pulpit; and should never be allowed to enter one.

The gospel is not something partial or piecemeal: it takes in the whole life, the whole of history, the whole world. It tells us about creation and the final judgment and everything in between.

If we only spent more of our time in looking at Him we should soon forget ourselves.

There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.

All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.

Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.
