He who waits on God loses no time.
Too many are willing to sit at God’s table, but not work in his field.
More Bibles are bought and fewer read than any other book.
The devil is not fighting religion. He´s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.
The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it. We are plainly told in the Scriptures that in the last days men will not endure sound doctrine and will depart from the faith and heap to themselves teachers to tickle their ears. We live in an epidemic of this itch, and popular preachers have developed “ear-tickling” into a fine art.
The devil's not fighting churches today, he's joining churches.
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.
Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
God's Word is its own best argument.
What we live is what we believe. Everything else is just so much religious talk.
Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave - with both ends kicked out.
It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
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.
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, 'Shake well before using.' That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
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.
The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
Doing leads more surely to talking than talking to doing.
A true preacher is best measured not by how many bouquets have been pinned on him but by how many brickbats have been pitched at him. Prophets have been on the receiving end of mud more than medals.
Most of the notable turn out to be the not-able. God's greatest truths still belong to babes.
The middle of the road is a poor place to walk. It is a poor place to drive. It is a poor place to live.
If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.
God's deepest secrets often miss the wise and prudent and are revealed unto babes. We say, "Children, be like your parents." Jesus said, "Parents, be like your children."
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.
We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God.
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.
I'm convinced that a large percentage of people that we call worldly Christians are perhaps not Christian to begin with and that may be the trouble.
Beware of being a religious poseur, trying to live up to a dramatized version of yourself.
We need men of the cross, with the message of the cross, bearing the marks of the cross.
We have always needed old people to keep things from going too fast and young people to keep them from going too slow. Youth has fire and age has light and we need both.
Popularity has slain more prophets of God than persecution ever did.
