Perseverance Is More Than Endurance. It Is

The Teaching Of The Sermon On The Mount Is Not--do Your Duty, But--do What Is Not Your Duty. It Is Not Your Duty To Go The Second Mile, To Turn The Other Cheek, But Jesus Says If We Are His Disciples We Shall Always Do These Things. There Will Be No Spirit Of--"oh, Well, I Cannot Do Any More, I Have Been So Misrepresented And Misunderstood". . . Never Look For Right In The Other Man, But Never Cease To Be Right Yourself. We Are Always Looking For Justice; The Teaching Of The Sermon On The Mount Is--never Look For Justice, But Never Cease To Live It.

Sometimes There Is Nothing To Obey, The Only Thing To Do Is To Maintain A Vital Connection With Jesus Christ, To See That Nothing Interferes With That.

If We Simply Preach The Effects Of Redemption In The Human Life Instead Of The Revealed, Divine Truth Regarding Jesus Himself, The Result Is Not New Birth In Those Who Listen. The Result Is {only} A Refined Religious Lifestyle . . . We Must Make Sure That We Are Living In Such Harmony With God That As We Proclaim His Truth He Can Create In Others Those Things Which He Alone Can Do.

The Prayer Of The Saints Is Never Self-important, But Always God-important.

We Preach To Men As If They Were Conscious They Were Dying Sinners, They Are Not; They Are Having A Good Time.
