Our Lord sent His disciples out as sheep among wolves; now the wolves are being invited into the sheepfold.

If you would try out a preacher, send him to preach to farmers: if he cannot make the grade there, let him reconsider his call - or maybe he needs to be converted.

If the church would only be the church- if Christians would only be Christians- nothing could halt our onward march.

Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity

Too much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion. I am thinking not only of the ministry of reproof and rebuke but also of the message of inspiration, of encouragement, of comfort. People go out of church at noon with the depths unstirred, the heart untouched, the conscience unpricked.

Jesus is all we have; he is all we need and all we want. We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!

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