christian eye people
People used to blush when they were ashamed. Now they are ashamed if they blush. Modesty has disappeared and a brazen generation with no fear of God before its eyes mocks at sin. We are so fond of being called tolerant and broadminded that we wink at sin when we ought to weep.
christian mother jesus
A picture of Christ was hung in the back of a pulpit. When the minister rose to speak one Sunday morning, a little boy asked his mother, 'Mother, who is that man who stands so we can't see Jesus?'
christian prayer devil
The devil is in constant conspiracy against a preacher who really prays, for it has been said that what a minister is in his prayer closet is what he is, no more, no less.
christian people church
In other days people chose a church on the basis of their doctrinal convictions. Now, lacking doctrinal convictions, they choose for social reasons.
christian church lasts
Don't ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it could be the last time.
christian discipline alternatives
The alternative to discipline is disaster
zoos civilization inmates
Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.
loyalty jesus husband
A wife who is 85 percent faithful to her husband is not faithful at all. There is no such thing as part-time loyalty to Jesus Christ.
spiritual jesus omnipotence
Jesus is all we have; he is all we need and all we want. We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!
men christianity righteousness
Men love everything but righteousness and fear everything but God.
church-service dull twelve
Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
tired years alcohol
I'm tired of hearing sin called sickness and alcoholism a disease. It is the only disease I know of that we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to spread.
christian fall ifs
If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!
christian christian-inspirational creation
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
