Use your imagination and consider the situation as it developed in the U. of Kentucky and U. of Georgia football game as few years ago. Time was running out.

You may take a lantern that has no candle in it, and you may clean the exterior as long as you like, but it will not guide you through the darkness. There must be a candle placed within, or else it will be useless to you, cleanse it as you may. And within man’s set nature there must be put the divine…

The form of godliness without the power is not worth the trouble it takes to put it together and keep it together. Imitation jewels are pretty and brilliant, but if you take them to the jeweler he will give you nothing for them. There is a religion that is all paste gems—a godliness that glitters but…

An officer in India had tamed a leopard. From the time when it was quite a kitten he had brought it up, until it went about the house like a cat, and everybody played with it. But he was sitting in his chair one day asleep, and the leopard licked his hand—licked it in all innocence. But as he licked,…

If in reading the history of the first Christian centuries you are asked to point out the men to be envied for their joy, you would point to the believers in Jesus. There is a room in Rome that is filled with the busts of the emperors. They look like a collection of prizefighters and murderers, and scarcely…

Of all the people whom I have ever met with who have told me that they were perfect, I can say that I was morally certain they were not. They had only to talk for about five minutes and they proved their own imperfection. But we shall be perfect one day. “The one who began a good work in you will finish…

It is said to have been the distinguishing mark of Caesar as a soldier that he never said to his followers “Go!” but he always said “Come!” Of Alexander, also, it was noted that in weary marches he was sure to be on foot with his warriors, and in fierce attacks he always was in the vanguard. The most…

There lived some few years ago in Perugia, in Italy, a man of the loosest morals and the worst conceivable disposition. He had given up all religion, he loathed God, and had arrived at such a desperate state of mind that he had conceived an affection for the devil, and endeavored to worship the evil…

An owl is a fine bird to look at, but he is a very small bird when he is plucked. He is nearly all feathers, and I think that a great many professing Christians are very like owls. They are fine birds to look at, but it is mostly feathers. Just see whether it is mostly feathers with you. Spurgeon, C.…

There is a famous picture that represents our Lord before Pilate. It has deservedly won great attention. A certain excellent newspaper, which brings out for a very cheap price a large number of engravings, has given an engraving of this picture; but, inasmuch as the painting was too large for the paper…

You know how a judge will stop a witness when he begins to say what others have told him: “No, no,” he says, “what did you see yourself? What do you know about this business on your own account? I do not want to know what others said to you about it.” So is it with the message delivered from the pulpit.…

People can tell lies when they hold their tongues. There was a little girl at school who always held her hand up when the boys and girls were asked to show that they knew the answer to any question that had been put to them. One afternoon she held her hand up when she did not know the answer, and a classmate…

We read in olden times of many of the most eminent servants of God being dressed in the poorest manner. When good Bishop Hooper was led out to be burnt, he had been long in prison, and his clothes were so gone from him that he borrowed an old scholar’s gown, full of rags and holes, that he might put…

You say that he is “a rewarder of those who seek him”; do you despise the reward? Are you content with having made a profession of religion? Some professing Christians remind me of the reply of the child who was asked at the Sunday school about her father, who never went to any place of worship. “Is…

What strength holy living in his people gives to the preacher of the word of God!

A person asked me one day, “Is not such-and-such a person a Baptist?” I replied, “I do not know him.” He said, “He is a fellow who says a very long grace before his dinner, and he goes to such-and-such a chapel.” “Well,” I answered, “If he goes there, he certainly attends a Baptist chapel.” Then he said,…

A “richly supplied” entrance has sometimes been illustrated in this way. You see yonder ship. After a long voyage, it has neared the haven, but is much injured; the sails are rent to ribbons, and it is in such a forlorn condition that it cannot come up to the harbor: a steam-tug is pulling it in with…

Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager are both a part of the internet news media. They also share their Jewish faith.
