They tell me that I rub the fur the wrong way. I don't; let the cat turn around. - William Thomas Ellis

The backslider likes the preaching that wouldn't hit the side of a house, while the real disciple is delighted when the truth brings him to his knees.

Whenever a day comes when I can stand and preach God's Word without an agony of anxiety lest the people will not accept Christ; whenever a day comes when I can see men and women coming down the aisles without joy in my heart, I'll quit preaching.

The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.
