One of the greatest errors in the church today is the artificial distinction we have created between accepting Christ as Savior and confessing Him as Lord. We have made two experiences of it, but the New Testament makes them one.

A mortician can make a dead man look better than he ever did when he was alive. So churches like Sardis may appear very much alive when they are dead in the sight of the Lord. God knows the difference.

To the average professed Christian today, living so far below normal, New Testament Christianity would be a shock.

Too many are willing to sit at God’s table, but not work in his field.

When a man makes alliance with the Almighty, giants look like grasshoppers.

God's deepest secrets often miss the wise and prudent and are revealed unto babes. We say, "Children, be like your parents." Jesus said, "Parents, be like your children."

Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.
