christian garden tree
Adam tried to hide behind the trees in the garden. There is only one tree that can hide us from Him and that is the tree of the cross.
christian moving criticism
We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God.
home son gone
If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.
christian poor places-to-live
The middle of the road is a poor place to walk. It is a poor place to drive. It is a poor place to live.
country jesus past
When I pastored a country church, a farmer didn't like the sermons I preached on hell. He said, Preach about the meek and lowly Jesus. I said, That's where I got my information about hell.
people vision venture
Many people have the right aim in life, they just never get around to pulling the trigger. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps -- we must step up the stairs.
leisure ifs
If we don't come apart; we will come apart.
christian dirty white
When the Lord's white sheep become dirty gray, all black sheep feel more comfortable.
christian real singing
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
christian higher-ground grace
We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to "grow in grace" and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.
christian together sticks
Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
religious believe
What we live is what we believe. Everything else is just so much religious talk.
christian faces lord
What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.
men library genuine
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
