We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.

Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.

A picture of Christ was hung in the back of a pulpit. When the minister rose to speak one Sunday morning, a little boy asked his mother, 'Mother, who is that man who stands so we can't see Jesus?'

The same church members who yell like Comanche Indians at a ball game on Saturday sit like wooden Indians in church on Sunday.

God judges what we tolerate as well as what we practice. Too often we put up with things we ought to put out.

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.

You have not really learned a commandment until you have obeyed it. The Church suffers today from Christians who know volumes more than they practice.
