If you know what you stand for, and where you stand, you will still be standing there when all others have gone. People who live it up have a hard time living it down. A fool s anger is soon known. Unless we believe that our message is unique we will not be different from the world, nor will we evangelize. Stumbling blocks are not good material with which to build a church.

Some of the most sectarian people in the world religiously are those who are sectarian with that which they dogmatically, arrogantly and self-righteously believe to be the truth. The waters of baptism cannot put out the flames of hell if we have never repented. We never cease to be amazed at how fast churches can compromise and fall away from the simple New Testament position when, even for a short time, the Word of God is not preached in its fullness. Some people all wrapped up in clothes, when they follow the style, have a very small wrap. Right is always right if no one is right, and wrong is still wrong if everyone is wrong.
