The Unblemished Ideal Exists Only In Happily-ever-after Fairy Tales. Ruth Likes To Say, "if Two People Agree On Everything, One Of Them Is Unnecessary."

The Bible Is Actually A Library Of Books-some Long, Some Short- Written Over Hundreds Of Years By Many Authors. Behind Each One, However, Was [the] Author: The Spirit Of God.

Christianity Is Not A Spectator Sport. It's Something In Which We Become Totally Involved.

To A Large Extent, The American Church Has Become Merged With The World. It Has Adopted So Many Of The World's Ideals And Standards That It Has Lost Its Ability To Stem The Tide Of Crime, Deception And Immorality That Is Sweeping The Nation.

To Drive To Extinction Something He Has Created Is Wrong. He Has A Purpose For Everything... We Christians Have A Responsibility To Take The Lead In Caring For The Earth.

It Is Impossible To Live Pure Lives Until We Have Pure Hearts. Many People Today Are Trying To Put The Cart Before The Horse. They Are Teaching Purity Of Motives, Desires, And Actions To Old, Deceitful Hearts! No Wonder We Have Ended Up Such Moral Failures, In Spite Of Our Vaunted Knowledge And Psychological Approaches.

And All Of A Sudden, All Of My Sins Came Before Me. Everything I Had Ever Done Wrong That I Had Forgotten About Years Ago Came Into My Mind.

I Have Many Friends That Don't Claim To Be Followers Of Christ. As Far As Day-to-day Friendship And Being Together At Various Functions, I Don't Think That There Should Be Any Difference At All.

We Have Resorted To Every Means To Win Back The Position That Adam Lost. We Have Tried Through Education, Through Philosophy, Through Religion, Through Governments To Throw Off Our Yoke Of Depravity And Sin. All Our Knowledge, All Our Inventions, All Our Developments And Ambitious Plans Move Us Ahead Only A Very Little Before We Drop Back Again To The Point From Which We Started. For We Are Still Making The Same Mistake That Adam Made - - We Are Still Trying To Be King In Our Own Right, And With Our Own Power, Instead Of Obeying God's Law.

If God Eliminated Evil By Programming Us To Perform Only Good Acts, We Would Lose This Distinguishing Mark - The Ability To Make Choices. We Would No Longer Be Free Moral Agents. We Would Be Reduced To The Status Of Robots.

Art And Education May Refine The Taste, But They Cannot Purify The Heart And Regenerate The Individual. His (christ’s) Words Were Simple Yet Profound. And They Shook People, Provoking Either Happy Acceptance Or Violent Refection. People Were Never The Same After Listening To Him….the People Who Followed Him Were Unique In Their Generation. They Turned The World Upside Down Because Their Hearts Had Been Turned Right Side Up. The World Has Never Been The Same.

Without The Resurrection, The Cross Is Meaningless.

Only The Lord Jesus Can Redeem The Soul That Is Steeped In Guilt And Shame. This Baggage Weighs Us Down Until We Accept Jesus' Gift-the Gift That Liberates Souls From Sin's Power.

My Hope Does Not Rest In The Affairs Of This World. It Rests In Christ Who Is Coming Again.

In A Country Where Christians Were Looked Upon With Suspicion And Disfavor, A Government Leader Said To Me With A Twinkle In His Eye, 'christians Seem To Thrive Under Persecution. Perhaps We Should Prosper Them, And Then They Would Disappear.'

Dogs Are Quick To Show Their Affection. They Never Pout, They Never Bear A Grudge. They Never Run Away From Home When Mistreated. They Never Complain About Their Food. They Never Gripe About The Way The House Is Kept. They Are Chivalrous And Courageous, Ready To Protect Their Mistress At The Risk Of Their Lives. They Love Children, And No Matter How Noisy And Boisterous They Are, The Dog Loves Every Minute Of It. In Fact, A Dog Is Still Competition For A Husband. Perhaps If We Husbands Imitated A Few Of Our Dog's Virtues, Life With Our Family Might Be More Amiable.

I Can't Explain 9/11, Except The Evil Of Man.

Heaven Doesn't Make This Life Less Important; It Makes It More Important.

In The Founding Era Of Our Country, It Was Not Organized Religion But Personal Faith That Brought Focus And Unified The Early Leadership-maybe An Unspoken Faith In God, And Certain Values That Came With That Faith. So In That Sense, We Cannot Discount, In My Judgment, Religious Faith In Politics.

Ruth And I Don't Have A Perfect Marriage, But We Have A Great One. How Can I Say Two Things That Seem So Contradictory? In A Perfect Marriage, Everything Is Always The Finest And Best Imaginable; Like A Greek Statue, The Proportions Are Exact And The Finish Is Unblemished. Who Knows Any Human Being Lke That? For A Marriage Couple To Expect Perfection In Each Other Is Unrealistic.

Your Faith And Hope Are In God.

I'd Grown Up In A Presbyterian Church, But I Really Didn't Know Christ Personally In My Heart. I Knew Him, But I Didn't Know Him. And There's A Difference Between An Intellectual Faith And A Personal, Heart Faith In Which I Opened My Heart To Him And Let Him Rule My Life.

Yes, Satan Is Real, But So Is Christ, And Someday Satan Will Be Defeated And Christ Will Rule Forever. Don't Be Deceived, But Open Your Heart And Mind To Jesus Christ, And Put Your Life Into His Hands.

If Your Faith Isn't Rooted In The Bible, It Will Wither Like A Plant Pulled Out Of The Soil.

My Job Is Simply To Proclaim The Gospel, And To Let The Spirit Of God Apply In The Individual Hearts.

There Are Two Great Forces, God's Force Of Good And The Devil's Force Of Evil, And I Believe Satan Is Alive And He Is Working, And He Is Working Harder Than Ever, And We Have Many Mysteries That We Don't Understand.

Someday Your Life Will Be Over, No Matter How Much Attention You Give To Your Health. Will You Look Back With Regret, Because You Nourished Your Body But Starved Your Soul?

The Evangelistic Harvest Is Always Urgent. The Destiny Of Men And Of Nations Is Always Being Decided. Every Generation Is Strategic.

After I Graduated From High School, One Of The Former Workers On Our Farm Asked If I Would Be Willing To Join Him In Selling Fuller Brushes Through The Summer.
