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

The introduction is the first and best chance to win the attention of people who otherwise would not care. The first thing you have to do is make people believe that what you have to say is relevant and important.

A Christian is something before he does anything; and we have to be Christian before we can act as Christians.

Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.

First of all, the evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. This is true of every evangelical. He is a man of one book; he starts with it; he submits himself to it; this is his authority.

A man who imagines that because he has a head full of knowledge that he is sufficient for these things had better start learning again. 'Who is sufficient for these things?' What are you doing? You are not simply imparting information, you are dealing with souls, you are dealing with pilgrims on the way to eternity, you are dealing with matters not only of life and death in this world, but with eternal destiny.

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