Whiskey and beer are all right in their place, but their place is in hell.

If you lack joy, your Christianity must be leaking somewhere

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.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.
