QUOTES OF THE WEEK!

Doctrine without practice leads to bitter orthodoxy; it gives correctness of thought without the practical vitality of the life of Christ. Practice without doctrine leads to aberrations; it gives intensity of feeling, but it is feeling apt to go off in any (and often a wrong) direction. What we need is both, as Paul's letters and the whole of Scripture teach us. - James M. Boice

Paul is quite concerned that Christians not break the unity of the Spirit by agreeing with false doctrine (Rm. 16:17-20), and the Apostle John echoes this warning (2 John 6-11). The local church cannot believe in peace at any price, for God's widsom is "first pure, then peaceable" (James 3:17). Purity of doctrine itself does not produce spiritual unity, for there are churches that are sound in faith, but unsound when it comes to love. This is why Paul joins the two: "speaking the truth in love" (Eph. 4:15). - Warren W. Wiersbe

If God promised His servants an unbroken run of prosperity, there would be many counterfeit Christians. Don't be surprised at famine... it is permitted to root you deeper just as a whirlwind makes the tree grapple deeper roots into soil. - F.B. Meyer

You can get bitter or you can get better. - Unknown

When you become bitter you don't make sense. - Evangelist Matt Downs

Goliath- a basketball goal with muscles. - Downs

God marks some of our days "WILL EXPLAIN LATER." Vance Havner

Heaven and Hell are both located in dry counties. - Unknown
