What They Said

“The flippant, the insincere, the superficial, and the shallow make religion a jukebox.  Put a dime in, press a button, and get this jukebox religion.”

“If I have to tell someone I am a Christian, I am not living a life that pleases the Lord.  I need to allow Christ’s silent love to flow into my heart and life so the people around me can see there is a difference inmate.”

“God’s love in my life is not based upon my ability to do things.”

“God’s love has so much passion and power in it that it overrides common thinking.  I cannot think my way into God’s presence.  It is the love of God that overwhelmed me and open’s up the gate into His presence.”

"Whatever the world does in the years ahead, and whatever happens among mankind, true Christinas have no cause for worry."

"Surely bible-reading Christians should be the last person on earth to give way to hysteria.   They are redeemed from their past offenses, kept in their present circumstances by the power of an all-powerful God, and their future is safe in His hands."

"The church that can’t worship must be entertained. And men who can’t lead a church to worship must provide the entertainment."

“One of the greatest hindrances to internal peace which the Christian encounters is the common habit of dividing our lives into two areas – the sacred and the secular”

“Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly.  We insist upon trying to modify Him and to bring Him nearer to our own image.”

"The God of contemporary Christianity is only slightly superior to the gods of Greece and Rome, if indeed He is not actually inferior to them in that He is weak and helpless while they at least had power."

"A right conception of God is basic not only to systematic theology but to practical Christian living as well. It is to worship what the foundation is to the temple; where it is inadequate or out of plumb the whole structure must sooner or later collapse."

"It is a grave responsibility that a man takes upon himself when he seeks to edit out of God's self-revelation such features as he in his ignorance deems objectionable."

"All God's acts are done in perfect wisdom, first for His glory, and then for the highest good for the greatest number for the longest time."

"God dwells in eternity but time dwells in God.  He has already lived all our tomorrows as He has lived all our yesterdays."

"A right conception of God is basic not only to systematic theology but to practical Christian living as well."

"God has provided His salvation that we might be individually and personally, vibrant children of God, loving God with all our hearts and worshipping Him in the beauty of holiness"

"Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offer a power which is nothing less than the power of God."

"The Christian church exists to worship God first of all.  Everything else must come second or third or fourth or fifth."

"It certainly is true that hardly anything is missing from our churches these days - except the most important thing.  We are missing the genuine and sacred offering of ourselves and our worship to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"No short cut exists for a deeper spiritual life. The man who would know God must give time to Him."
