The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.

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.

A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.

Abraham did not know where he was going immediately, but he knew where he was going ultimately. He did not know the Whither but he knew the Whom. He believed God, and, being sure of his destiny, he did not worry about his destination.

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

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

You always enter God's hospital as a charity patient. You can't pay your way.
