christian two church-today
One of the greatest errors in the church today is the artificial distinction we have created between accepting Christ as Savior and confessing Him as Lord. We have made two experiences of it, but the New Testament makes them one.
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.
christian hatred god-love
Nothing is needed so much as a holy indignation against sin. It is true that there is not enough love for God, and one sign of it is that there is not enough hatred for sin.
christian pride upset
When we sin, we are often upset, not because we have grieved the Spirit but because our pride has been injured.
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.
moving evil midst
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
waiting cases
Faith doesn't wait until it understands; in that case it wouldn't be faith.
