You can't preach it like it is if you don't believe it like it was.

A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.

Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort precedes collapse.

If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.

People used to blush when they were ashamed. Now they are ashamed if they blush. Modesty has disappeared and a brazen generation with no fear of God before its eyes mocks at sin. We are so fond of being called tolerant and broadminded that we wink at sin when we ought to weep.

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

Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
