Our magazine covers frequently feature the immoral, the perverted, the psychologically sick. Sin is “in.” People don’t like to be told they are sinners.
I urge new converts to take plenty of time in Bible study and prayer before getting on a public platform to testify.
God wants us to know His will and He reveals it to us both through the Bible and through the guidance of His Holy Spirit. Seek God’s will when you pray, and He will help you know it.
Each generation becomes more addicted to the sedatives of life, to dull the pain of living.
The greatest waste in all of our earth is our waste of the time God has given us each day.
Sinful pleasure can ruin our appetite for the things of God.
The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin.
Man cannot control himself, and if he will not be controlled by Jesus Christ, then he will be controlled by Satan.
A life without God is like a boat without an anchor.
Man got into difficulty when he lifted his will against God’s. He gets out of trouble when he bows to the divine superiority, when he repents and says humbly: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Man’s extremity then becomes God’s opportunity.
Perversion is considered a biological abnormality rather than a sin. These things are contrary to the teaching of God’s Word. And God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin and the Bible says God is going to judge it.
Don’t be bound by the past and its failures. But don’t forget its lessons either.
We do not fail to enjoy the fruit of the Spirit because we live in a sea of corruption; we fail to do so because the sea of corruption is in us.
God can break the chain of every sin that binds you if you are willing to give it up. He comes into your heart and gives you power to overcome sin.
Repeated disappointment almost always triggers a series of other reactions: discouragement, anger, frustration, bitterness, resentment, even depression. Unless we learn to deal with disappointment, it will rob us of joy and poison our souls.
Disappointment and failure are not signs that God has forsaken you or stopped loving you. The devil wants you to believe God no longer loves you, but it isn’t true. God’s love for us never fails.
The heart of the Christian Gospel with its incarnation and atonement is in the cross and the resurrection. Jesus was born to die.
The Christian life isn’t a playground but a battlefield.
Take one day at a time. Today, after all, is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
Something distinguishes Christianity from all the religions of the world. Not only does it carry the truth of the redemption, by the death of our Savior for our sins on the cross, but it carries the fact that Christ rose again.
