To know Christ, and to make Him known, is our business here.
Christianity is not a cloak put on, but a life put on.
The best way to live for another world is to live life in this one for others.
The cream of the Bible is never found by skimming the surface.
Be an “amen” Christian, but don’t shout it louder than you live it.
