  • Religion today is not transforming the people – it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society – it is descending to society’s own level and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smiling accepting its surrender.
  • Don’t come down here to cry about it, go home and live it
  • Only a disciple can make a disciple.
  • We’re here to be worshippers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so. God meant that a convert should learn to be a worshiper, and after that he can learn to be a worker…The work done by a worshiper will have eternity in it.
  • The man with a cross no longer controls his destiny; he lost control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all-absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference. No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do; that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion.
  • Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late – and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work.
  • It is either all of Christ or none of Christ! I believe we need to preach again a whole Christ to the world – a Christ who does not need our apologies, a Christ who will not be divided, a Christ who will either be Lord of all or will not be Lord at all!
  • A true and safe leader is likely to be one who has no desire to lead, but is forced into a position of leadership by the inward pressure of the Holy Spirit and the press of the external situation.

  • I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.

  • Christians don’t tell lies they just go to church and sing them.
  • A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself.What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them. We must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.
  • What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
  • To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.
  • What I believe about God is the most important thing about me.
  • God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.
  • It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him.
  • It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
  • We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.
  • An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.
  • The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
  • An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly
  • In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we’re pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker’s praise without anxiety.
  • Salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred Scriptures… Apart from obedience there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility.

  • You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.

  • Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.” – The Crucified Life
  • God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible– what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.
  • We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.
  • He remembers our frame and knows that we are dust. He may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.

  • If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.
  • The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord’s will and did it. Their people followed them – sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution – and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world.
  • We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury. As a result, discipline practically has disappeared. What would a violin solo sound like if the strings on the musician’s instrument were all hanging loose, not stretched tight, not “disciplined.”
  • Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it.
  • The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.The Bible recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith. The two are at opposite sides of the same coin.
  • No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.
  • The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed. Think whether much of your sorrow has not arisen from someone speaking slightingly of you. As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal, how can you hope to find (God’s) inward peace.
  • True faith rests upon the character of God and asks no further proof than the moral perfections of the One who cannot lie. It is enough that God has said it
