christian hate followers
The world does not hate its own. It does hate our Lord. It hates His followers. Where do you belong in this lineup?
christian party sunday
The preacher who jests and jokes with his people all week will soon find that he cannot stand in his pulpit on Sunday with power to reprove, rebuke and exhort. He may be the life of the party but it will be the death of the prophet.
death lost havens
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
darkness way demon
The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.
christian practice judging
God judges what we tolerate as well as what we practice. Too often we put up with things we ought to put out.
christian integrity character
To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
home son gone
If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.
fields tables willing
Too many are willing to sit at God’s table, but not work in his field.
christian deceiving these-days
We are challenged these days, but not changed; convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not; and thereby we deceive ourselves.
christian feet hands
Too many Christians live their Christian lives inside their heads; it never gets out through hands and feet and lips.
fire facts lips
No amount of facts in his head can compensate for the lack of fire on his lips.
christian people church
Most people would not want to live where there are no churches but many people live as though there were no churches.
waiting cases
Faith doesn't wait until it understands; in that case it wouldn't be faith.
christian selfish desire
I suspect that much of our praying to be used is selfish, and underneath it is the sneaking desire to make our mark and be recognized.
