In my opinion, the greatest sin in the church of Jesus Christ in this generation is ignorance of the Word of God. Many times I have heard a church officer say, “Well I don’t know much about the Bible, but…” and then he gives his opinion, which often actually contradicts the Word of God! Why doesn’t he know much about the Bible? These things were written aforetime for our learning. God wants you to know His Word.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
Don’t say that a loving God is going to send you to hell- He’s not. The thing that’s going to send you to hell is that you’re a sinner and you don’t want to admit it.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
Today, when people say they cannot believe, it is not a mental problem; it is a matter of the will of the heart- they do not want to believe. Some say they have certain ‘mental reservations,’ mental hurdles which they cannot get over. My friend, your mind is not big enough to take even one little hurdle. The problem is never in the mind but in the will. There is sin in the life, and a man does not want to turn to God; he does not want to believe Him.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
Immorality is just as bad now as it was in the past. The difference is that now we flaunt it. It used to be done in secret, but now it is done in the open.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
What is your ambition in life today? Is it to get rich? Is it to make a name for yourself? Is it even to do some wonderful thing for God? Listen to me, beloved. The highest desire that can possess any human heart is a longing to see God.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
The Bible. Know it in your head. Stow it in your heart. Show it in your life. Sow it in the world.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
There are only two kinds of religion in the world…They all say, “Do, do, do.” Only Christianity says, “Done.” Christ has done it all.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
This is God’s universe and He does things His way. You may have a better way, but you don’t have a universe.
Vernon McGee (Pastor, Theologian)
God does not punish us for our sins but by them.
Ruth Graham (Billy Graham’s Wife)
I think losing a loved one must be a little like losing a leg. First there is the shock, then the anesthetic, and the painkillers; the attention of doctors and nurses, flowers and cards and visits from friends. But sooner or later you have to learn to walk without it.
