The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.' |
The Church has lost a great warrior and the country has lost a great patriot who will long be remembered, ... He was a bold and courageous man who stood firmly for what he believed. |
The ending was sad enough, never mind for it to come with allegations that he has thrown a fight as well. |

The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulus. |
The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless. |
The Lord . . . put his hand on me and gave me a gift. God has called me to preach and be about the business of winning the lost. |

The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless. |
The most prominent place in hell is reserved for those who are neutral on the great issues of life |
The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West . . . But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace. |
The only people here are the quick and the dead |
The only thing I could say for sure is that hell means separation from God. We are separated from his light, from his fellowship. That is going to be hell. |
