When the Lord's white sheep become dirty gray, all black sheep feel more comfortable.

A preacher who is too big for a little crowd would be too little for a big crowd.

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.

What gives the Word of God authority is simply the fact that it is the word of God!

What we love usually manages to get into our conversation. What is down in the well of the heart will come up in the bucket of the speech.

God has a place and purpose for you, somewhere for you to be and something for you to do. You never will be happy elsewhere, nor can you please God anywhere but there.

To the average professed Christian today, living so far below normal, New Testament Christianity would be a shock.
