We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.

More Bibles are bought and fewer read than any other book.

Jesus Christ demands more complete allegiance than any dictator who ever lived. The difference is, He has a right to it.

Life is like a grain of wheat: to plant it is to recognize its value; to keep it is to destroy its value. The 'planted' Christian counts life dear not unto himself but unto God.

I remember when the Titanic sank in 1912, it was the ship that was supposed to be unsinkable. The only thing it ever did was sink. When it took off from England, all kinds of passengers were aboard - millionaires, celebrities, people of moderate means, and poor folks down in the steerage. But a few hours later when they put the list in the Cunard office in New York, it carried only two categories - lost and saved. Grim tragedy had leveled all distinctions.
