“The Scripture teaches that popularity with the world means death. Satan’s most effective tool is conformity and compromise. He is aware that one man standing in the midst of a pagan people
can move more people in the direction of God than thousands of insipid professors of religion.”

“Satan is the sower of compromise—leaving a bit of God’s truth into the dirty rags of sin. Satan is the commander in deceit, Satan is the ringleader in rebellion against the faithful.
Satan is the sly serpent of temptation.
Satan is the false hope of security.
Satan is the great pretender.
Satan is the great spoiler of everything good.
And Satan wants to destroy you.”

“There are thousands of people who have had some form of emotional experience that they refer to as conversion but who have never been truly converted to Christ.

“Our magazine shelves are filled with crime and sex pulp-magazines that are being read and devoured by millions of young people . . .
Scores are seeing each week the trash that Hollywood produces. Truly our children are “movie mad.”

“The difference between the non-Christian and the Christian is that the non-Christian makes sin a practice; the true Christian does not.”

“We need to encourage new believers to feed on God’s Word—it is nourishment for the soul.”
