jesus want needed
It is one thing to say Jesus is all you want; until He is all you have and you discover He is all you ever needed.
men two fire
Some ministers preach from notes and some don't. They have argued about it for centuries. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Two Welsh preachers were on their way to a meeting. One noticed that the other carried written outlines. 'Ah,' he remonstrated, 'you cannot carry fire on paper.' 'True,' replied his companion, 'but you can use paper to start a fire!'
winning men feet
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.
mistake moses crosses
I wouldn't cross the street to hear Ingersoll preach on the mistakes of Moses, but I'd love to hear Moses preach on the mistakes of Ingersoll!
doe would-be sometimes
God knows His own. It is well that He does, for sometimes it would be difficult for us to determine who are His!
christian church march
If the church would only be the church- if Christians would only be Christians- nothing could halt our onward march.
son honor exaltation
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be on the Lordship of Christ. When we get right on that point we are right all down the line. God honors the exaltation of His Son.
christian men mind
The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.
popularity prophet persecution
Popularity has slain more prophets of God than persecution ever did.
christian honor promise
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.
christian tragedy today
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
christian modern lord
Because the Lord loves us He chastens and rebukes us. Modern sentimentality has reduced God to a tolerant indulgent grandfatherly being who winks at our transgressions.
christian selfish desire
I suspect that much of our praying to be used is selfish, and underneath it is the sneaking desire to make our mark and be recognized.
fire facts lips
No amount of facts in his head can compensate for the lack of fire on his lips.
