QUOTE FROM THE "DOCTOR"

I do not listen to a man who tells me how to solve the worlds problems if he cannot solve his own personal problems. If a man's home is in a state of discord, his opinions about the state of the nation or the state of the world are purely theoretical.

QUOTE FROM THE "DOCTOR"

" The Fathers used to use the term - PLEADING THE PROMISES. You never hear it now. Why? Because people do not really pray any longer , they send little telegrams to God. They think that that is the height of spirituality. They know nothing about WRESTLING with God and PLEADING THE PROMISES."

C. T. STUDD said.............
We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism........TO YOUR KNEES, MAN! AND TO YOUR BIBLE! Decide at once! Don't hedge! Time flies! Cease your insults to God. Quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame, lying and cowardly excuses.

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK 14-11-08

One of the most serious problems in the church is that men are looking to men, and not to Christ. Many of today's Christians are so impressed with the reputation of well-known preachers and evangelists and dazzled by their style, that they are inclined to drop their guard and abandon discernment. For example, when the teaching is given by one who may have a PhD in theology, an eloquent preaching style, an air of humility, and a considerable reputation, it can all too often be enough to convince most of today's Christians that the message comes from God. It very often does not.

FRIDAYS QUOTE

There, then, are the three main causes of trouble in the church at corinth: carnality, intellectualism, and an unbalanced spirituality. What does it teach us? I suggest to you that there are three main lessons which immediately present themselves to us. The first, to which I have already adverted, is the danger of assuming that because a church, or an institution, or a movement, was once right, that it will continue to be right. The same body, the same institution, the same cause, the same movement with the same organization, can move from its position and end up being almost the exact opposite of what it was at the beginning...................................................................................................... For instance, preachers have their importance; preachers are useful; but if you make them the centre, so that every time you meet you talk about the preacher instead of the Lord Jesus Christ, your preachers are doing harm; indeed you are making them do harm....................Preachers are all right but they are not meant to be the centre.

There are many that think I am too fierce against popedom. On the contrary, I complain that I am, alas! too mild; I wish I could breathe out lightning against pope and popedom, and that every word were a thunderbolt.

FRIDAYS QUOTE

A Christian must be well armed, grounded, and furnished with sentences out of God's Word, that so he may stand and defend religion and himself against the devil, in case he should be asked to embrace another doctrine.

FRIDAYS QUOTE

The secret of praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning. We are beggared and bankrupt, but not broken, nor even bent.

FRIDAY QUOTE FROM "THE DOCTOR"

I have no hesitation again in asserting that the failure of the church to have a greater impact upon the life of men and women in the world today is due entirely to the fact that her own life is not in order. To me there is nothing more tragic or short-sighted or lacking in insight than the assumption, made by so many, that the church herself is all right and all she has to do is to evangelize the world outside.

FRIDAY QUOTE FROM "THE DOCTOR"

"We tend to believe, and perhaps rightly, that we have been blessed in the past because we have been religious. But when we make use of that fact and advocate religion in order that we may be blessed we are insulting God."
