easily head people says stop talking time useful
People Some people are like wheelbarrows; useful only when pushed, and very easily upset. The time to stop talking is when the other person nods his head affirmatively but says nothing.
christian efficiency sufficiency
Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.
soul missionary christ
The primary qualification for a missionary is not love for souls, as we so often hear, but love for Christ.
blessed men faithful
The preacher who is concerned with gaining a reputation, rising in his profession, is always in bondage. The itch for bigness is a dangerous thing. It has made a castaway of many a man whom God once richly blessed. A man should desire to be neither larger nor smaller than pleases God. Better than that, he should not bother at all about how large or how small but rather how faithful he shall be.
christian real smart

christian together sticks
Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
christian wise stress
Paul was not ignorant of Satan's devices, but we are not so wise. Among his most successful devices today are these: exalting tolerance above truth; emphasizing the head more than the heart; making size more important than sort; stressing the positive to the neglect of the negative; putting happiness above holiness; majoring on this world instead of the next.
idols idol-worship spirit
Our Lord approved neither idol worship or idle worship but ideal worship in Spirit and truth.
christian fighting church
Satan is not fighting churches; he is joining them. He does more harm by sowing tares than by pulling up wheat. He accomplishes more by imitation than by outright opposition.
christian garden tree
Adam tried to hide behind the trees in the garden. There is only one tree that can hide us from Him and that is the tree of the cross.
christian real singing
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
christian dirty white
When the Lord's white sheep become dirty gray, all black sheep feel more comfortable.
