It is not our responsibility to make it acceptable; it is our duty to make it available.

Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.

It's hard to be optimistic when you have a misty optic.

I preach on specific sins because people are not convicted by sermons on sin in general. It was when our Lord said to the Samaritan woman, 'Go call thy husband...' (John 4:16), that she really faced up to her sinfulness.

Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
