Paul was not ignorant of Satan's devices, but we are not so wise. Among his most successful devices today are these: exalting tolerance above truth; emphasizing the head more than the heart; making size more important than sort; stressing the positive to the neglect of the negative; putting happiness above holiness; majoring on this world instead of the next.

A deep and sober concern to please God is the rarest of rarities.

Because the Lord loves us He chastens and rebukes us. Modern sentimentality has reduced God to a tolerant indulgent grandfatherly being who winks at our transgressions.

Nothing is needed so much as a holy indignation against sin. It is true that there is not enough love for God, and one sign of it is that there is not enough hatred for sin.

Revival is simply New Testament Christianity, the saints going back to normal.

We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.

If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
