"Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the
home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look
in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less."
Billy Sunday
“You will never know how much you believe something
until it is a matter of life and death.” “If you think of this world as
a place intended simply for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable:
think of it as a place of training and correction and it’s not so bad.”
C.S. Lewis
"Persistence in any form of sin cannot consist with supreme
love to God or equal love to our fellow men. If we love God more than
ourselves, we cannot disoblige Him for the sake of obliging ourselves.
We cannot displease Him, knowingly and habitually, for the sake of pleasing
ourselves."
Charles Finney
"God kept every one of His promises and prophesies regarding
the Messiah. For example, Jesus died on the cross before the soldiers
decided the break the legs of those being crucified (Ex. 12:46; Ps. 34:20).
But they pierced His side with a spear to be certain of His death (Isa.
53:5). At what seemed to be the end, Christ was buried in a rich man’s
tomb (Isa. 53:9); however, He did not stay in the grave."
Charles Stanley
"there is the joy of one's own salvation. I thought, when I
first tasted that, it was the most delicious joy I had ever known, and
that I could never get beyond it. But I found, afterward, there was something
more joyful that, namely, the joy of the salvation of others."
D.L. Moody
"Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using
of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry
a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest
whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own."
Henry Ward Beecher
"We have little control over the circumstances of life. We
can't control the weather or the economy, and we can't control what other
people say about or do to us. There is only one area where we have control--we
can rule the kingdom inside. The heart of every problem is the problem
in the heart."
Warren Wiersbe
"Our own infirmities work out our good. How often do we see
this! Physical infirmities and frailties teach us our dependence upon
God, and bring us to walk softly with Him and before Him. They often compel
us to exercise sobriety, temperance and self-control, and in this way
often become our greatest blessings."
Charles Finney
"The Bible- banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more
frequently attacked than any other book in history. Generations of intellectuals
have attempted to discredit it; dictators of every age have outlawed it
and executed those who read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle believing
it is more powerful than their weapons. Fragments of it smuggled into
solitary prison cells have transformed ruthless killers into gentle saints.
Pieced together scraps of Scripture have converted whole whole villages
of pagan Indians."
