boredom everyday laziness
True will-power and courage are not on the battlefield, but in everyday conquests over our intertia, laziness, boredom.
spiritual men down-and
When a man gets up so high (spiritual mountaintop) that he cannot reach down and save poor sinners, there is something wrong.

The reward of service is more service.
inspiring men good-man
The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.
men lapses taught
When a man is not deeply convicted of sin, it is a pretty sure sign that he has not truly repented. Experience has taught me that men who have very slight conviction of sin sooner or later lapse back into their old life.
heart winning people
A worker must win the hearts and affections of the people before he can do any effective work.
men thinking self
When a man thinks he has got a good deal of strength, and is self-confident, you may look for his downfall. It may be years before it comes to light, but it is already commenced.
stupid giving people
If God has given you a message, go and give it to the people as God has given it to you. It is a stupid thing to try to be eloquent.
heart men air
A good many preachers say I am lowering the pulpit. I am glad I am. I am trying to get it down to the level of men's hearts. If I wanted to hit Chicago I would not put the cannon on the top of this building and fire into the air. Too many preachers fire into the air.
funeral trying four
I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ's funeral sermons, but I couldn't find any. I found He broke up every funeral He ever attended! Death couldn't exist where He was.
law people balance
It is a favorite thing with infidels to set their own standard, to measure themsleves by other people. But that will not do in the Day of Judgment. Now we will use God's law as a balance weight.

A missions conference is a business meeting to decide the fate of the heathen.
inspiring book evangelists
There's no better book with which to defend the Bible than the Bible itself.
son trials sin
God had one Son without sin, but He never had a son without trial.
