When there’s something in the Bible that churches don’t like, they call it ‘legalism.’
The cross is going to judge everything in your life: your eating, your drinking, your sleeping, your spending, your talking. Everything is cross-examined!
It is much easier to wear a cross than to bear a cross.
If we had more sleepless nights in prayer, there would be far fewer souls to have a sleepless eternal night in hell.
No man is greater than his prayer life.
You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there’s a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.
If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.
The church that is man-managed instead of God-governed is doomed to failure. A ministry that is college-trained but not Spirit-filled works no miracles.
Everyone recognizes that Stephen was Spirit-filled when he was performing wonders. Yet, he was just as Spirit-filled when he was being stoned to death.
The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.
What are you going to do when you get to eternity, if you can’t stick in an hour with God down here?
Entertainment is the devil’s substitute for joy. The more joy you have in the Lord the less entertainment you need.
Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion! If a man can’t preach with passion he shouldn’t preach at all.
We need more prophets in our pulpits and less puppets.
Nobody stood by Jesus. Maybe nobody will stand by you. It’s a lonely life, but it’s a glorious life.
Today’s church wants to be raptured from responsibility.
If a Christian is not having tribulation in the world, there’s something wrong!
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.
If we had more hellfire preaching in the pulpit, then we would have fewer hell-bound people in the pew.
