strong heart talent
God isn't a talent scout looking for someone who is "good enough" or "strong enough." He is looking for someone with a heart set on Him, and He will do the rest.
christian two church-today
One of the greatest errors in the church today is the artificial distinction we have created between accepting Christ as Savior and confessing Him as Lord. We have made two experiences of it, but the New Testament makes them one.
darkness way demon
The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.
christian practice judging
God judges what we tolerate as well as what we practice. Too often we put up with things we ought to put out.
real coffee hypocrite
The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home. If it takes two cups of coffee to make you fit to live with, you had better go to the mourner's bench.
death lost havens
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
destiny worry destination
Abraham did not know where he was going immediately, but he knew where he was going ultimately. He did not know the Whither but he knew the Whom. He believed God, and, being sure of his destiny, he did not worry about his destination.
christian feet hands
Too many Christians live their Christian lives inside their heads; it never gets out through hands and feet and lips.
christian new-york mean
I remember when the Titanic sank in 1912, it was the ship that was supposed to be unsinkable. The only thing it ever did was sink. When it took off from England, all kinds of passengers were aboard - millionaires, celebrities, people of moderate means, and poor folks down in the steerage. But a few hours later when they put the list in the Cunard office in New York, it carried only two categories - lost and saved. Grim tragedy had leveled all distinctions.
christian mind doe
Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christians when nerves are frayed and the mind is faint.
christian average devil
If the devil cannot keep you from being saved, if next he fails to make you backslide, then he undertakes to keep you just an average Christian. Here he succeeds with most believers.
christian scum-of-the-earth needs
We need a dedicated minority who, like the apostles of old, are willing to be called the scum of the earth and a spectacle to the world for the scandal of the cross.
fire preacher sermons
Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more sermons into the fire.
christian godly heaven
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven; you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
