Top Highlights
“Love for the Savior is the prerequisite for service.” (Page 182)
“To abide in Christ means constant communion with Him all the time.” (Page 95)
“These are the three essentials in the church today: new life in Christ, worship and adoration, and service.” (Page 38)
“One of the reasons so many of God’s children get hurt by this method of pruning is that they get so far from God, so far out of fellowship. The closer we are to God, the less it will hurt.” (Page 93)
“Friend, may I say, we do not win the lost by being Christian cannibals. ‘But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another’ (Gal. 5:15). This is the type of thing that is turning the unsaved away from the church today. This is the reason they don’t come in to hear the gospel. They hear the gossip before they can hear the gospel! Do you realize that the most important commandment for a Christian is not to witness, not to serve, but to love other believers?” (Page 69)
