The Biblical motivation for maintaining sound doctrine in the church is agape love - love for Christ, love for His truth, and love for our brothers and sisters in the true faith.

"...[W]e live in an age of confusion and uncertainty, an age of religious persecution, which may come to our own land as well as to every other land. We may know the trials and the tribulations and the problems of the early church and the early Christians of the first century. Indeed, even with life as it is, what is more important than knowing the way into the presence of God?"

"There is no charge, perhaps, that is brought quite so frequently against the Christian teaching, the Christian Gospel, the Christian way of life, and the individual Christian believer as the charge of narrowness. . . But not only is that the favorite charge brought against us by people of the world, I am afraid that for many Christians there is no charge of which they are so nervous and frightened as this."

"...[A]n organized evangelistic campaign...is not revival. A revival is a visitation of the Spirit of God, a mighty movement within the whole body of the church. Revival applies and pertains to the church herself rather than to the outsider. The outsider only derives the benefits from it. A revival is...a re-enlivening of the church herself."

"Are you a phenomenon...where you live? Are you an object of wonder to your neighbors and associates? It is only when you and I, who are members of the Church, are people like this and become phenomena, objects of conversation and of curiosity, that we shall begin to see revival and renewal in the Church."

"Why should we go on with the Christian Church? Many today say it has become an anachronism, that we might as well shut our doors, that the Church and the Gospel are an insult to postmodern man. What is our answer? Why must we go on?"

"John the Baptist prophesied that when our Lord came He would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Where is the fire, my friends?...The burning heart is the one great need and necessity of every one of us. Do you have it?"

"What is a church? What is the Church? Acts chapter two tells us what the Church was meant to be. This is what the Church has always become in periods of reformation and revival."

"When you come into the Christian church and listen to this Gospel as it is in truth, you must realize that everything you are in the world is of no value... the Pharisee is as helpless as the publican. The greatest sage is as helpless as a newborn babe."
