The only way to avoid problems in church...

Roy T. Williams (1883-1946) was an evangelist and General Superintendent of the Nazarene Church. He once said that the only way to avoid having any problems in a church was this: “Don't take in any new members and chloroform the ones you already have. Every person is a potential problem.”

Forgive me, I found this humorous ;-)

What loosens your tongue?

"Wine loosens the tongue, but out flows uninhibited and uncensored gibberish. The Spirit loosens the tongue, too, but there flows communication that edifies others and glorifies God." - Richard S. Taylor

What sin is...

"Sin is not a thing. It is a choice, an act of a finite will. It is the suicide of the soul. It can never be a matter of compulsion. It is always avoidable. And it always brings a separation between God and man." W.T. Purkiser

What holiness is

“Holiness is the life of God in the soul; the image of God fresh stamped on the heart, an entire renewal of the mind in every temper and thought, after the likeness of Him that created it.” - John Wesley
