At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture.

I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.

Plenty of church members are shaky about what they believe, while not many are shaken by what they believe.

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.

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.

Today I am one day nearer Home than ever before.
