The Testimony of Judas

"We may depend upon it that if Judas had ever seen, in public or in private, anything in the character of Jesus inconsistent with His claims, he would, if only to mitigate the poignancy of his remorse, have dragged it into the light of day. But conscience compelled him to testify that He whom he betrayed was innocent."

Another Kind Of Thief

"If the price of labor is one dollar for the day, then to waste half the day in idleness is to defraud the employer of half a dollar; this is as dishonest as to take half a dollar from his chest."

Preach the Truth!

"No gore, no grace, no glory. All religions that deny the cross nullify the grace of God and lead people to perpetual ruin. Preaching that (nullified) truth ill-fits today's professionalism (among evangelicals). Beware of replacing real truth-based tolerance with spurious professional tolerance."

Be Exposed to Christ

"The more we expose our lives to the white-hot sun of His righteous life (for, say, five, ten, fifteen, thirty minutes, or an hour a day), the more His image will be burned into our character— His love, His compassion, His truth, His integrity, His humility."
