While nobody likes a watchdog, and for that reason many investigation committees are unpopular, I thank God for men who, in the face of public denouncement and ridicule, go loyally on in their work of exposing the pinks, the lavenders and the reds who have sought refuge beneath the wings of the American eagle and from that vantage point try in every subtle, undercover way to bring comfort, aid and help to the greatest enemy we have ever known -- communism.
No matter what trials we face, Christ never leaves us. He is with us every step of the way!
We cannot truly face life until we face the fact that it will be taken away from us.
Each generation faces different issues and challenges, but our standard must always be measured by God's Word.
I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.
The fact is, we cannot truly face life until we have learned to face the fact that it will be taken away from us.
Only the supernatural love of God through changed lives can solve the problems that we face in our world.
Theology never changes. A man's heart is the same. The Gospel is the same. There have been no additions to the Gospel that was preached in the first century, and there is no difference in the reading of the events of the first century; morally, they're still the same. The same old sins, the same old problems, basically, that they faced in Egypt we face today in America.
When I reached about 80, my physical world turned upside down,
The storm was raging. The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning was flashing, the thunder was roaring, the wind was blowing; but the little bird was sound asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head tucked serenely under its wing. That is peace -- to be able to sleep in the storm! In Christ, we are relaxed and at peace in the midst of the confusions, bewilderments, and perplexities of this life. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest. We have found peace -- at last!
Billions and billions of stars and planets out there, and behind them all are God.
The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'
The thing that alarms me is that there are so many clergymen who say that the so-called 'new morality' is all right. They say we're living in a new generation; let's be relevant, let's change God's law. Let's say that adultery is all right under certain circumstances; fornication's all right under certain circumstances. If it's 'meaningful.'
A tragedy like this could have torn our country apart. But instead it has united us, and we have become a family.
