We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes.

Evangelical Christianity in the United States is often characterized by a deep desire to have “Christianity” pervade our culture but not have Christ permeate our being.
– Rich Villodas –
There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough—a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice—which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.

Oh! One hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.
– David Brainerd –
The Holy Spirit never enters a person and lets them live like the world. You can be sure of that.

from A Man of God
We shall not adjust our Bible to the age; but, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.
– Charles Spurgeon –
When the church and the world can jog comfortably along together, you can be sure something is wrong. The world has not compromised—its spirit is exactly the same as it ever was. If Christians were equally as faithful to the Lord, separated from the world, and living so that their lives were a reproof to all ungodliness, the world would hate them as much as it ever did. It is the church that has compromised, not the world.
– Catherine Booth –
You can’t expect God to be the source of your peace if the world is the source of your satisfaction.

The sum total of all human knowledge is but as a drop of the bucket compared with the wisdom of God.
