It is more important to influence people than to impress them.
God put a cross between you and hell. If you want to go to hell, you will have to crawl over the cross of Jesus.
The prayer offered to God in the morning during your quiet time is the key that unlocks the door of the day. Any athlete knows that it is the start that ensures a good finish.
You are free to choose. You are not free not to choose. No choice is a choice. You are free to choose but you are not free to choose the consequences of that choice.
It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills.
When you have His joy in your heart, it doesn't necessarily mean your pain or hurt will be taken away. It means you'll be able to bear it.
Some people brighten up a room just by leaving it.
I may be a nut, but I'm fastened to a good bolt, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Pray and doubt; you’ll do without. Pray and believe; you will receive.
If Satan can't make you bad, he'll make you busy.
Indeed, your scars may be your greatest ministry. Just as the scars of Jesus convinced Thomas, perhaps your scars will convince someone today.
The Church is not a showboat; it's a battleship.
God only wants for us what we would want for ourselves if we were smart enough to want it.
Jesus did not bathe this planet with his blood to have you serve the world, the flesh, and the devil. He died to make you holy. You are not your own. First Corinthians 6:20 says 'For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.'
The church is not the way to heaven; the church is the sign that points to heaven.
Knowledge come from looking around; wisdom comes from looking up.
You don't make Him Lord. He's Lord already. You just recognize it.
God is never in a hurry, but God is never late
I would rather stand alone in the light of truth than in the crowd filled with error.
It’s what you sow that multiplies, not what you keep in the barn.
God doesn't just love all of us. He loves each of us.
Forgiveness is not an emotion; it's a choice.
But I believe the greatest enemy of the Bible is the so-called Christian who simply ignores the Bible or disregards it.
Adrian Rogers told us as often as he could he took the Bible literally. He illustrated by saying he believed the world was created in six 24-hour days. And he repeated this to make an impression upon us. In private (Jerry Vines was with us), I asked Rogers what he did with the slavery passages of the New Testament. Did he take them literally? He paused and said, 'Well, I believe slavery is a much-maligned institution. If we had slavery today, we would not have this welfare mess.'
Sin is not just breaking God's laws; it is breaking His heart.
