Some missionaries bound for Africa were laughed at by the boat captain. 'You'll only die over there,' he said. But a missionary replied, 'Captain, we died before we started.'

The devil's not fighting churches today, he's joining churches.

Plenty of church members are shaky about what they believe, while not many are shaken by what they believe.

There are no trivial assignments in the work of the Lord.

Too many Christians are stuffing themselves with gospel blessings while millions have never had a taste.

There never has been a culture since this world began in which a New Testament Christian could feel at home.
christian jesus falling-in-love
A revival is the church falling in love with Jesus Christ all over again.
order alcohol church
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
kings heart dust
We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.
christian pay way
You always enter God's hospital as a charity patient. You can't pay your way.
christian standards productions
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.
christian home doors
One cannot help the evil thoughts that come, but it is the thoughts we cultivate that make the difference between good or evil. We don't have to open the door to the devil and say, "Make yourself at home."
christian book christian-inspirational
More Bibles are bought and fewer read than any other book.
