"Unless there is a spiritual revival, we might as well try to hold back Niagara Falls with toothpicks."

"We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God."

"We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts."

"We are the salt of the earth, mind you, not the sugar. Our ministry is to truly cleanse and not just to change the taste."

"We spend many an hour just talking when we should have been plowing."

"Were smart enough to walk on the moon, but not safe enough to walk in the park."

"When you cannot trace God’s hand you can trust his heart."

"When you’re up to your ears in crocodiles, it's no time to discuss draining the swamp."

"You can be so wary of getting out on a limb that we never go up the tree."

"You haven't lost anything when you know where it is. Death can hide but not divide."
