We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.

The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.

We need to take down our "Do not disturb" signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.

A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.

Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.

The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.

The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it. We are plainly told in the Scriptures that in the last days men will not endure sound doctrine and will depart from the faith and heap to themselves teachers to tickle their ears. We live in an epidemic of this itch, and popular preachers have developed “ear-tickling” into a fine art.
