When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.

If you are a stranger to prayer, you are a stranger to the greatest source of power known to human beings.

One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.

The reason you don't like the Bible, you old sinner, is because it knows all about you.
