Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
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.

american-musician both kicked people
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave - with both ends kicked out.
american-musician followed stare steps vision
The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
men brave messages
God is on the lookout today for a man who will be quiet enough to get a message from Him, brave enough to preach it, and honest enough to live it.
