Religion Fails If It Cannot Speak To

Real Repentance Means Coming Not Only To Be Sorry For The Consequences Of Sin But To Hate Sin Itself.

Here Is An Eternal Truth. Life Cannot Be Divided Into Compartments In Some Which God Is Involved And In Others Of Which He Is Not Involved... The Fact Is That God Does Not Need To Be Invited Into Certain Departments Of Life, And Kept Out Of Others. He Is Everywhere, All Through Life And In Every Activity Of Life. He Hears Not Only The Words That Are Spoken In His Name; He Hears All Words; And There Cannot Be Any Such Thing As A Form Of Words Which Evades Bringing God Into Any Transaction. We Will Regard All Promises As Sacred If We Remember That All Promises Are Made In The Presence Of God.

We May Not Understand How The Spirit Works; But The Effect Of The Spirit On The Lives Of Men Is There For All To See; And The Only Unanswerable Argument For Christianity Is A Christian Life. No Man Can Disregard A Religion And A Faith And A Power Which Is Able To Make Bad Men Good. . .

When We Accept Christ We Enter Into Three New Relationships: (1) We Enter Into A New Relationship With God. The Judge Becomes The Father; The Distant Becomes The Near; Strangeness Becomes Intimacy And Fear Becomes Love. (2) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Our Fellow Men. Hatred Becomes Love; Selfishness Becomes Service; And Bitterness Becomes Forgiveness. (3) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Ourselves. Weakness Becomes Strength; Frustration Becomes Achievement; And Tension Becomes Peace.

Every Discouraging Sermon Is A Wicked Sermon... There Could Hardly Be A More Un-christian Way Of Living Than To Go About In Such A Way As To Depress And To Discourage Other People.
