"Great cathedrals and costly houses of worship dazzle our eyes and stir the wonder of the passerby; mighty throngs stream through their aisles every Sabbath; and yet there is a situation that chills the hearts of many of God's wisest servants. It is a good time to inquire, 'Where is the Lord God of Elijah?'"
- Rev. E. K. Cox, 1929

"We live in a day of itching ears but I have no commission from God to scratch them."

"A true love of God must begin with a delight in his holiness."

"Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender."
- A. W. Tozer
"The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity."
