B. H. Carroll "There are some who imagine that they can be skeptical upon the point of the resurrection and remain Christians. Is there anything left of Christianity with this surrendered?...If all who have professed it are now utterly annihilated in their graves, what infinitesimal shred of Christianity is left?" ******* Dr. George Truett said, "The man was a giant of the Faith, a great preacher and a man who influenced men in a positive way toward faith in Christ. The pulpit was his throne, and he occupied it like a king." *******

Bill Reese-Preacher Bill Preacher Bill Reese Founder and Pastor of Lakeside Baptist Church for 54 years. Located in Clearwater, South Carolina. http://lakesidebaptistchurch.com My family and I attended Lakeside for 15 years of our life. Both Preacher Bill and Mrs. Fannie were and still are a great encouragement and blessing in our lives. We could never repay the things that we learned there while sitting under the Biblical preaching of Preacher Bill and Mrs. Fannie in Sunday school. During our financial and medical problems with our son, Micah, who died, after we first started at Lakeside, monies were given out of love for our family to help with bills and traveling back and forth to Atlanta.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon-(1834-1892). English Baptist preacher, author, and editor. "Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength." ******* “God’s anointed is appointed, and shall not be disappointed.” ******* "It is ill for an heir of heaven to be a great friend with the heirs of hell." ******* "Even small inconsistencies are dangerous. Little thorns make great blisters, little moths destroy fine garments, and little frivolities and little rogueries will rob religion of a thousand joys. O professor, too little separated from sinners, you know not what you lose by your conformity to the world. It cuts the tendons of your strength, and makes you creep where you ought to run. Then, for your own comfort's sake, and for the sake of your growth in grace, if you be a Christian, be a Christian, and be a marked and distinct one. " *******  "Filth brings decay, but cleanness is the great foe of corruption." Psalms 119:9 ******* "A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.

If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way; but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word." ******* "Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom." ******* "Go back, then, a little way to the choice mercies of yesterday, and though all may be dark now, light up the lamps of the past, they shall glitter through the darkness, and thou shalt trust in the Lord till the day break and the shadows flee away." ******* I cannot tell how much I owe to the prayers of my good mother. I remember her once praying, "Now Lord, if my children go on in sin it will not be from ignorance that they perish, and my soul must bear swift witness against them at the day of judgment if they lay not hold on Christ and claim Him as their personal Savior." ******* "I would recommend you either believe God up to the hilt, or else not to believe at all. Believe this Book of God, every letter of it, or else reject it. There is no logical standing place between the two. Be satisfied with nothing less than a faith that swims in the deeps of divine revelation; a faith that paddles about the edge of the water is poor faith at best. It is little better than a dry-land faith, and is not good for much." ******* "Neither forget the fact that God is our refuge just now, in the immediate present, as truly as when David penned the Word." Psalms 46:1 ******* "We are slow to meet Him, but He is never tardy in helping us." Psalms 46:5 ******* "God's apparent delays are ever wise, and, when rightly viewed, are no delays at all." Psalms 46:5 ******* "A true heart of God, cannot long live without fellowship with God." ******* "The man of God exerts himself, but does not trust himself." ******* "The more a man's whole heart is set upon holinesss the more does he dread falling into sin." ******* "The surest mode of cleansing the way of our life is to seek often God Himself, and to endeavour to abide in fellowship with Him." ******* "Holy hearts make holy tongues" ******* "Speak of a man, and his shadow falls on you." ******* "Wise men give good counsel, but wiser men take it." ******* "When food is eaten, the next thing is to digest it; and when the Word is received into the soul the first prayer is-Lord, teach me its meaning." Psalms 119:12 ******* "The Heart. Here is the best thing, hidden in the best place, for the best of purposes." Psalms 119:11 ******* "When you talk about heaven let your face light up with a heavenly glory. When you tell about hell, your everyday face will do." *******

David Cloud "I am convinced that few errors are as destructive to fundamentalist Bible-believing churches as New Evangelism." ******* "At the heart of theological modernism is an attack upon the authority of the Bible." ******* "The Fundamentalist movement was never homogenous even in its earliest days. There were many types and divisions." ******* "J. Frank Norris stood against Modernism in the Southern Baptist Convention. He stood for the whole counsel of God and was not afraid to make an issue of anything clearly taught in Scripture." ******* "It is clear to honest historians that fifty years ago Fundamentalism was characterized by militancy and separation, and it was this fact that produced the New Evangelical reaction against Fundamentalism." ******* "The objective of my Christian life and ministry is not to be a good Fundamentalists but it is to be faithful to God's Word in all matters." ******* "In the first half of the 20th century Evangelicalism in America was largely synonymous with Fundamentalism. By the mid-1950's, though, a clear break between separatist Fundamentalists and non-separatist Evangelicals occurred." ******* "The sons of Evangelical-Fundamentalist preachers determined to create a "New Evangelicalism." They would not be fighters; they would be dipolmats, positive in their emphasis rather than militant, infiltrators rather than separatists. They would not be restricted by a separationist mentality." ******* "It is impossible to be a New Evangelical and hold 'fierce' convictions!" ******* "Failure to separate from error leaves one open to the influence of error." ******* "The Bible does not instruct believers to dialogue with false teachers but to preach the truth to them and to rebuke their errors." ******* "Close association with sin and error corrupts godly thinking and living. Just as a good apple cannot raise the standard of a barrel of bad apples, a true Christian cannot raise the standard of an apostate or deeply compromised church or association." 1 Corinthians 15:33 "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." ******* "The command of God is not to dialogue with heretics but to reject them." Titus 3:9-11 "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself." ******* "The chief danger of New Evangelicalism is not the error that is preached but the truth that is neglected." Acts 20:27 "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." ******* "The Gospel begins with the bad news of God's condemnation of our sin before it gets to the good news of forgiveness through Jesus Christ." ******* "Biblical preaching always has a strong element of warning and plain correction." ******* "Nothing clearly taught in Scripture is to be despised and set aside for the purpose of unity." ******* "I am not responsible to maintain a unity of spirit with every professing believer in the world, but with the believers in my assembly (church)." ******* "If one is faithful to the New Testament faith, it is impossible to have wide fellowship, and if one is committed to a wide fellowship he must limit his message to something less than the whole counsel of God." ******* "Apostasy usually begins among the intellectuals." ******* "The Bible believer is not anti-intellectual in the sense of being anti-learning and education; but he understands the dangers inherent in human scholarship because of man's fallen nature; and he is opposed to humanistic scholarship that is divorced from and antagonistic to God's Word." ******* "To gain intellectual respectability requires deep spiritual compromise." ******* "The pride of intellect is a very dangerous trap." ******* "New Evangelicalism appears to be zealous for the truth and bold against error, but in practice, it turns its fiercest guns upon the Fundamentalists." ******* "Billy Graham is the king of inconsistency and contradiction. This is why he has been called 'Mr. Facing Both Ways.'" ******* "It is impossible to take Bible doctrine seriously without being dogmatic." ******* "When it's God's time for something to happen, that thing WILL happen and all the forces of earth and hell cannot stop it." ******* "A person can be right in his external appearance and not be right with God in his heart, but when a person is right with God internally he or she will be concerned about dressing modestly and not causing others to stumble." ******* "The Christian must be concerned about how his appearance influences others." ******* "The book of Proverbs is God's child discipline manual. There is more sound information on child training in the little book of Proverbs than in all the child psychology books that have ever been written." ******* "It is an irrefutable fact that a man that does not drink will never get drunk and will certainly never become drunk." ******* "The Bible does not suggest that we abstain from all appearance of evil; it commands us to do so." ******* "When light associates with darkness and truth associates with error, the result is always the corruption of light and truth." ******* "The road of compromise runs never up but only down and leads only to apostasy." ******* "A spiritual warning that is given by a Spirit-filled child of God and that is based on Scripture is not an attack; it is not hurtful; it is not meanness; it is an act of obedience to God and compassion to the offender." ******* "Biblical evangelism is not salesmanship." ******* "The preacher that keeps his mouth shut in the face of error is in open disobedience to God's commands and is assisting the devil's program by his awful silence." ******* "One of the reasons why we reject the modern textual criticism that has given us the multiplicity of modern Bible versions is its affinity to and intimate association with end time apostasy. *******

David Otis Fuller Speaking of evangelicals of bygone days, said: "Each man possessed the same fierce conviction--that all truth is absolute, never relative. For these men, truth was never a nose of wax to be twisted to suit their system of dialectics or deceptive casuistry. Two times two made four. In mathematics, their supreme authority was the multiplication table; in theology, their absolute authority was the Bible." *******

D.L. Moody-(1837-1899). American evangelist. "It is the only happy life to live for the salvation of souls." ******* "God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves." ******* "Some day you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody of East Northfield, is dead. Don't you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now; I shall have gone up higher, that is all, out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal- a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint; a body fashioned like unto His glorious body." ******* "A good example is far better than a good precept." ******* "A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know." ******* "Character is what a man is in the dark." ******* "Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man." ******* "Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!" ******* "Faith makes all things possible... love makes all things easy." ******* "Give me a man who says this one thing I do, and not those fifty things I dabble in."  ******* "God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones."  ******* "God never made a promise that was too good to be true." ******* "I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man." ******* "I know the Bible is inspired because it inspires me." ******* "If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me." ******* "It is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words?" ******* "Light for every darkness, life in death, the promise of our Lord's return, and the assurance of everlasting glory." ******* "Never think that Jesus commanded a trifle, nor dare to trifle with anything He has commanded." ******* "No man can resolve himself into Heaven." ******* "Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement." ******* "The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible." ******* "There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things." ******* "There's no better book with which to defend the Bible than the Bible itself." ******* "We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine."  ******* "We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God."  ******* "We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people."  ******* "Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest." ******* "Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me." ******* “Never think that Jesus commanded a trifle, and do not dare to trifle with anything He has commanded.”

Dr. Bob Jones Sr. "It is a sin to do less than your best." ******* "The door to the room of success swings on the hinges of opposition." ******* "The two biggest little words in the English language are the two little words "do right."" ******* "It is one thing to know there is a God; it's another thing to know the God that is." ******* "You can't do wrong and get away with it." ******* "A man is a fool who leans on the arm of flesh when he can be supported by the arm of Omnipotence." ******* "What you love and what you hate reveal what you are." ******* "Jesus never taught men how to make a living; He taught men how to live." ******* "Do not ask God to give you a light burden; ask Him to give you strong shoulders to carry a heavy burden." ******* "It is better to die for something than to live for nothing." ******* "A Christian does good deeds, but just doing good deeds does not make a man a Christian." ******* "Your character is what God knows you to be; your reputation is what men think you are." ******* "You and God make a majority in your community." ******* "It is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right." ******* "Jesus said that He would be in the midst of two or three gathered in His name, but this does not mean that our Lord does not like to have a larger crowd." ******* "It is no disgrace to fail; it is a disgrace to do less than your best to keep from failing." ******* "The religions of the world say, "do and live." The religion of the Bible says, "live and do."" ******* "God will not do for you what He has given you strength to do for yourself." ******* "Dying men have said, "I am sorry I have been an atheist, an infidel, an agnostic, a skeptic, or a sinner"; but no man ever said with his last breath, "I am sorry I have lived a Christian life." ******* "The drunkard in the ditch has gone to the dogs. According to the Bible, the self-righteous man who thinks he doesn't need God has gone to the Devil." ******* "When I was fourteen years old, I knelt by my dying mother's bed. She smiled at me through the death shadow on her face and said she was going Home. She asked me to meet her in Heaven, and I gave her my promise. Her body sleeps in a lonely cemetery in the state of Alabama. As I have sat by her grave and listened to a funeral dirge played by the wind in the pine trees nearby, I have said, "Mother, I will see you again someday." Some people say I am dreaming. If I am, don't wake me. If this world were all, I would want my Christian faith. My faith hangs a rainbow of hope over the dust of my beloved ones and kindles a smile on the brow of my bereavement. This world is not all. There is a God. There is a Heaven. There is a Hell. I am playing a safe game. If there were only one world, I have already won. Since there is an afterlife, I win for two worlds. You don't have to take any chances with your soul.
