Life Changing Truths
"There are a lot of people in church, doubtless, who have denied themselves - self-denial for comfort and convenience. There are a lot of people here who never make any sacrifices for Jesus Christ. They will not suffer any reproaches for Jesus Christ. Paul says, "I love to suffer reproaches for Christ" (e.g., Rom. 8:17). The Bible says, "Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you" (Luke 6:26). "Blessed are you when your enemies persecute you" (Matt. 5). That is one trouble in the churches of God today. They are not willing to suffer reproach for God's sake. It would be a godsend if the Church would suffer persecution today; she hasn't suffered it for hundreds of years. She is growing rich and lagging behind. Going back."
—Evangelist Billy Sunday, from the sermon The Need of Revivals.
Bible Version Dilemma
I can understand why liberals, new evangelicals and other unbelievers prefer modern versions; but for the life of me I cannot understand why professing fundamentalists want a Bible with many verses and thousands of words missing.
Furthermore, they all teach some false doctrine (though many loudly proclaim these phony Bibles alter no doctrine). For example, look at John 7:8 in the NASV (the folks at Bob Jones assure us that this represents the best text). Jesus' brothers were urging Him to go up to the feast. The NASV says, "Go up to the feast yourselves. I do not go up to this feast..." In verse10, it records that Jesus went up to the feast. If the NASV doesn't make the Son of God to be a liar, language means nothing. It makes Him say He wasn't going when in fact He clearly intended to go all along. The KJV says, "Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet..." One little three letter word makes all the difference in the world. Which rendering do you think accords with the truth and the true nature of Jesus Christ? You don't have to know any Greek to understand this! Do you think Jesus could ever lie? The NIV has the word "yet" in the text, but there is a footnote which says "some early mss omit 'yet'." Yes, and they are the same two manuscripts (not a lot like they would have you believe) from which all modern versions come. There is only one Bible, one pure text and it is in the King James Version.
"I've stood for more sneers and scoffs and insults and had my life threatened from one end of the land to the other by this God-forsaken gang of thugs and cutthroats because I have come out uncompromisingly against them."
—Billy Sunday, speaking out against the cursed booze industry.

Wherefore Come Out From Among Them, and Be Ye Separate
There is a coldness and an indifference to old-fashioned Bible preaching. God said, speaking to Isaiah, “Lift up thy voice, cry aloud, spare not, make my people know they have sinned.” You think of God’s admonition in II Corinthians 6:14, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers...” You think of Christians being joined in lodges and associations with unbelievers. You think of Christians in business with unbelievers. You may not be able to find a grocery store run by Christians. The mechanic who works on your car may not be a Christian. The man who cuts your hair may not be a Christian. I am not talking about a Utopia but about a communion. God said there is never to be a communion between a saved and an unsaved person. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers...” Here is what God says we are to do about it: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate...” (2nd Corinthians 6:17). You say, “What is the answer to it?” That is the answer. I am preaching to people who belong to modernistic churches. I have people tell me, ”I don’t hear the truth where I go.” But you keep going! You send in your money. You help support it. You pay a man of the cloth to speak who denies the Bible. So you are as guilty as he is. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate...” is the answer. —Dr. Tom Malone, sermon: Can America Survive?
Luke 19:10, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
“Every single believer is supposed to do the work that Jesus did, and we must be reminded that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost and that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. That means that every Christian is to be a soul winner. Each Christian can be a soul winner and should be a soul winner, and if he is right with God, he is a soul winner.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, EXPLORING PRAYER WITH JACK HYLES, chapter 31

"Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies." —Psalm 40:4
“...I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” —Matthew 13:35
Religion wants to fit us with glasses; the Lord wants to open our eyes. Religion, if it shows us the Word at all, shows it to us through a filter of tradition. The Lord wants us to be free to preach and believe the Word as it is.
“Soul winning is not a method; it is a command. We are supposed to go soul winning and do soul winning if our churches grow or if our churches decrease in attendance.“

“Rejoice in your darkest hour. The world may think your crazy, foolish; but keep trusting God, keep building your faith on the Word of God. Rest in that Book. Do what He says do.
