When we sin, we are often upset, not because we have grieved the Spirit but because our pride has been injured.

Most of the notable turn out to be the not-able. God's greatest truths still belong to babes.

To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.

An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.

I know that some are always studying the meaning of the fourth toe of the right foot of some beast in prophecy and have never used either foot to go and bring men to Christ. I do not know who the 666 is in Revelation but I know the world is sick, sick, sick and the best way to speed the Lord's return is to win more souls for Him.

I suspect that much of our praying to be used is selfish, and underneath it is the sneaking desire to make our mark and be recognized.

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.
