I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.

Too many Christians are stuffing themselves with gospel blessings while millions have never had a taste.

Some missionaries bound for Africa were laughed at by the boat captain. 'You'll only die over there,' he said. But a missionary replied, 'Captain, we died before we started.'

Revival precedes evangelism. The church must first repent. This is the blind spot in our eye today.

Somehow the idea has gotten around that it is unchristian to take a stand against heresy. Some of us need to read the New Testament again.

An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.

We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism; we died with Christ and rose to new life.
