We have glamorized vice and minimized virtue. We have played down gentleness, manners, and morals__hile we have played up rudeness, savagery, and vice . . . and the philosophy of __ight is right.

Only a strong faith__ faith based on God__ Word__ill protect us from temptation and doubt.

The church should not reflect pop culture but portray godly attributes. The church should not seek pleasures but seek after God.

One of the real tests of Christian character is to be found in the lives we live from day to day.

I have met men who are habitual liars. They have lied so long that they no longer can distinguish between the truth and a lie. Their sensitivity to sin has been almost completely deadened.

Don__ conform to those who have been overwhelmed by the tide of immorality sweeping our country!

It doesn__ take great wealth or social influence to be faithful, but it does take obedience and endurance.

It is Satan__ purpose to steal the seed of truth from your heart by sending distracting thoughts . . . The difference between a Christian and a non-Christian is: though they both may have good and evil thoughts, Christ gives His followers strength to select the right rather than the wrong.

I hope the day will never come when the church abandons the __lass meeting_ and the prayer service . . .The old-fashioned __estimony_ meeting should be revived, for through this medium we can share with others our faith and triumphs as well as our needs and mistakes.

The apostle Paul urges Christians everywhere in all ages to be nonconformists as far as the world system is concerned. We are not to conform. A true Christian, living an obedient life, is a constant rebuke to those who accept themoral standards of this world.

I believe integrity can be restored to a society one person at a time. The choice belongs to each of us.

God has already set the date [for judgment]. You may make and break appointments in this life, but this is one appointment you are going to keep.

It could be said that going to church will not make one a Christian. But . . . refusing to fellowship with believers will not make you one either.

No one spoke more about hell than Jesus did, and the hell He came to save men from was not only a hell on earth . . .it was something to come.

The Lord did not design the church to cater to people__ needs__he Lord breathed life into the church to proclaim His truths.

God will never lead contrary to His word__o get acquainted with the Word of God, the Bible. Pray. He leads through the illumination of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Use whatever you have and be faithful. We are called to serve Christ in our sphere of influence.

Humanity wants comfort in its sorrow, light in its darkness, peace in its turmoil, rest in its weariness, and healing in its sickness and diseases: The Gospel gives all of this to us.

The blood of Christ purchased the church.
