The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.

When a man makes alliance with the Almighty, giants look like grasshoppers.

We need a dedicated minority who, like the apostles of old, are willing to be called the scum of the earth and a spectacle to the world for the scandal of the cross.

We have always needed old people to keep things from going too fast and young people to keep them from going too slow. Youth has fire and age has light and we need both.

God knows His own. It is well that He does, for sometimes it would be difficult for us to determine who are His!

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

The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.
