christian live-life heart
The man who sets out to live the life worthwhile-to follow his vision and speak his heart-need not look for position, honors, prosperity.
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 christian-inspirational detours
The detour is always rougher than the main road
christian christian-inspirational creation
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
faithful satan tricks
Faith has no value of its own, it has value only as it connects us with Him. It is a trick of Satan to get us occupied with examining our faith instead of resting in the Faithful One.
argument
God's Word is its own best argument.
ideas needs unchristian
Somehow the idea has gotten around that it is unchristian to take a stand against heresy. Some of us need to read the New Testament again.
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 discipline alternatives
The alternative to discipline is disaster
christian today way
The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.
christian simple vines
We must live in all kinds of days, both high days and low days, in simple dependence upon Christ as the branch on the vine. This is the supreme experience
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 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 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.
