We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.

You have not really learned a commandment until you have obeyed it. The Church suffers today from Christians who know volumes more than they practice.

We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to "grow in grace" and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.

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

The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home. If it takes two cups of coffee to make you fit to live with, you had better go to the mourner's bench.

A wife who is 85 percent faithful to her husband is not faithful at all. There is no such thing as part-time loyalty to Jesus Christ.

The same church members who yell like Comanche Indians at a ball game on Saturday sit like wooden Indians in church on Sunday.
