People get so used to the dark that they think it is growing brighter.

We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.

It's hard to be optimistic when you have a misty optic.

Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.

We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.

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.

Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more sermons into the fire.
