God Has Called Us To Shine, Just As Much As Daniel Was Sent Into Babylon To Shine. Let No One Say That He Cannot Shine Because He Has Not So Much Influence As Some Others May Have.

A Good Many Preachers Say I Am Lowering The Pulpit. I Am Glad I Am. I Am Trying To Get It Down To The Level Of Men's Hearts. If I Wanted To Hit Chicago I Would Not Put The Cannon On The Top Of This Building And Fire Into The Air. Too Many Preachers Fire Into The Air.

Many Of The Bible Characters Fell Just In The Things In Which They Were Thought To Be Strongest.

It Is A Masterpiece Of The Devil To Make Us Believe That Children Cannot Understand Religion. Would Christ Have Made A Child The Standard Of Faith If He Had Known That It Was Not Capable Of Understanding His Words?

The Dying Boy Said: " Father, Don't You Weep For Me; When I Get To Heaven I Will Go Straight To Jesus And Tell Him That Ever Since I Can Remember You Have Tried To Lead Me To Him." I Would Rather Have My Children Say That Of Me After I Am Gone; Or If They Die Before Me, I Would Rather They Should Take That Message To The Master Than To Have A Monument Over Me Reaching To The Skies.

No Matter How Low Down You Are; No Matter What Your Disposition Has Been; You May Be Low In Your Thoughts, Words, And Actions; You May Be Selfish; Your Heart May Be Overflowing With Corruption And Wickedness; Yet Jesus Will Have Compassion Upon You. He Will Speak Comforting Words To You; Not Treat You Coldly Or Spurn You, As Perhaps Those Of Earth Would, But Will Speak Tender Words, And Words Of Love And Affection And Kindness.

Prayer Does Not Mean That I Am To Bring God Down To My Thoughts And My Purposes, And Bend His Government According To My Foolish, Silly, And Sometimes Sinful Notions.
