The man who wants to do the right thing and does it because he wants to do it is a good man!1
——
You can be as good as you want to and yet go to hell if you have not put your trust in Jesus Christ! The devil is not going to waste his time causing any trouble for the preacher whose only message is, “Be good!”2
——
If a man’s will is not free to do evil, it is not free to do good!
The freedom of human will is necessary to the concept of morality.3
——
There has never been a time in history when people were good, but there have been times when the masses were ashamed of being bad. We have now degenerated to the point where we make belly-laughing jokes out of our evil ways and our scandalous morals….
When the moral philosophy of a whole generation becomes such that people can flaunt their evil and rottenness and wind up being celebrated on the front pages of our newspapers, then God will withhold His hand no longer.
We will rot from within. When we say this is the desert, we have our facts before us. The desert is all about us.4
