leader blind bland
Worse than blind leaders of the blind are bland leaders of the bland.
know-how knows
We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.
ignorance hot-headed cold-hearted
It is debatable which is causing us more harm - hot-headed ignorance or cold-hearted intellectualism.
husband people sin
I preach on specific sins because people are not convicted by sermons on sin in general. It was when our Lord said to the Samaritan woman, 'Go call thy husband...' (John 4:16), that she really faced up to her sinfulness.
tired years alcohol
I'm tired of hearing sin called sickness and alcoholism a disease. It is the only disease I know of that we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to spread.
leisure ifs
If we don't come apart; we will come apart.
prayer mean want
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
church-service dull twelve
Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
church fellowship members
Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.
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 discipline alternatives
The alternative to discipline is disaster
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.
