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

We are challenged these days, but not changed; convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not; and thereby we deceive ourselves.

A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.

We need to take down our "Do not disturb" signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.

The preacher who is concerned with gaining a reputation, rising in his profession, is always in bondage. The itch for bigness is a dangerous thing. It has made a castaway of many a man whom God once richly blessed. A man should desire to be neither larger nor smaller than pleases God. Better than that, he should not bother at all about how large or how small but rather how faithful he shall be.

Popularity has slain more prophets of God than persecution ever did.

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