You cannot learn doctrine well until you follow the doctrine you learn!

When you refuse to teach on the radical depravity of men, it is an impossibility that you bring glory to God, His Christ, and His cross, because the cross of Jesus Christ and the glory thereof is most magnified when it's placed in front of the backdrop of our depravity!

How could we have such a low view of the gospel of Jesus Christ that we have to manipulate men psychologically to get them to come down and pray a prayer? …How many times have I heard evangelists say, “It’ll only take five minutes.”? No my dear friend, it will take your life–all of it!

God does not call men to make Jesus Lord (as though they had such power), but to live in absolute submission to the Lord He has made.

I want to submit to you tonight that this country is not gospel-hardened; it is gospel-ignorant because most of its preachers are. And let me repeat this: the malady in this country is not liberal politicians, the root of socialism, Hollywood, or anything else; it is the so-called evangelical pastor, preacher, and evangelist of our day. That is where the malady is to be found.

The work is hindered. The glory of God is tarnished and it is because the people of God no longer know how to discern the things of God.

God saved you for Himself; God saved you by Himself; God saved you from Himself.
