One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.

An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.

"Let God be true but every man a liar" is the language of true faith.

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?

We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our "accepting" and "willing" are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.

You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.

Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle.

The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.

You can blame circumstances but backsliding always begins in the heart.

The Cross is not responsible for Gods love rather it was His love that conceived the Cross.

Of all forms of deception self deception is the most deadly and of all deceived persons the self deceived are the least likely to discover the fraud.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.

When we have the Holy Spirit we have all that is needed to be all that God desires us to be.

Every man is as holy as he really wants to be.

If you want to be holy then you must give time to God and not just intend to.

The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him.

Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be.

Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.

God's Kingdom isn't divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God's sight, everyone's needful.

We are too quick to live this life and forget that there is another world to come...this is not the end.

Cultivating quietness is a missing discipline today...the quietness needed to nurture an inner life hid in Christ.

The man who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems.

Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.

The scriptures are in print what Christ is in person.

A thankful heart cannot be cynical.

The driver on the highway is safe not when He reads the signs, but when He obeys them.

When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.

If worship bores you, you are not ready for heaven.

Without worship, we go about miserable.

Worship is why we are born and why we are born again.

If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course.

I remember going to church about four times a week. I liked it a lot.

You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?
