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

The temple of truth has never suffered so much from woodpeckers on the outside as from termites within.

Where God guides He provides. He is not responsible for expenses not on His schedule. He does not foot the bill when we leave His itinerary.

What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.

The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.

We live in an epidemic of this itch, and popular preachers have developed “ear-tickling” into a fine art.
