To the average professed Christian today, living so far below normal, New Testament Christianity would be a shock.

I know that some are always studying the meaning of the fourth toe of the right foot of some beast in prophecy and have never used either foot to go and bring men to Christ. I do not know who the 666 is in Revelation but I know the world is sick, sick, sick and the best way to speed the Lord's return is to win more souls for Him.

It is a matter of whether one wants to get rich or be rich. We can be rich in Christ Jesus or perhaps get rich in Egypt, but we cannot do both.

The preacher who jests and jokes with his people all week will soon find that he cannot stand in his pulpit on Sunday with power to reprove, rebuke and exhort. He may be the life of the party but it will be the death of the prophet.

Our Lord approved neither idol worship or idle worship but ideal worship in Spirit and truth.

Jesus Christ demands more complete allegiance than any dictator who ever lived. The difference is, He has a right to it.

The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
