The man who dies outside of Christ is said to be lost, and hardly a word in the English tongue expresses his condition with greater accuracy. He has squandered a rare fortune and at the last he stands for a fleeting moment and looks around, a moral fool, a wastrel who has lost in one overwhelming and irrecoverable loss, his soul, his life, his peace, his total, mysterious personality, his dear and everlasting all. -- A. W. Tozer
Great Thoughts
There are two things you won’t ever be forgiven for in fundamentalism; Success and Failure. --Phil Kidd
Truths are first clouds; then rain, then harvest and food --Henry Ward Beecher
It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hard put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction. Fear secretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices. --Henry Ward Beecher
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one often comes from a strong will and the other from a strong won't. --Henry Ward Beecher
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. --Henry Ward Beecher
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs, jolted by every pebble in the road. --Henry Ward Beecher
One's best success comes after their greatest disappointments.
--Henry Ward Beecher

The Average Christian
The average Christian these days is a harmless enough thing. God knows. He is a child wearing with considerable self-consciousness the harness of the warrior; he is a sick eaglet that can never mount up with wings; he is a spent pilgrim who has given up the journey and sits with a waxy smile trying to get what pleasure he can from sniffing the wilted flowers he has plucked by the way. -- A. W. Tozer
