The Christian is not a good man. He is a vile wretch who has been saved by the grace of God!
基督徒不是一个好人。他是一个被上帝恩典拯救的卑劣恶棍！
The tragedy of sin is that it affects man in his highest faculties. Sin causes us to become fools and behave in an irrational manner. Modern man, far from being ruled by reason, is ruled by lust and passion.
罪恶的悲剧在于它影响人最高尚的能力。罪使我们变成愚人，行为不理性。现代人远非被理性支配，而是被欲望和激情所支配。
The more holy a person is, the simpler will that person’s life be.
一个人越圣洁，他的生活就会越简单。

Grace is favor shown to people who do not deserve any favor at all. We deserve nothing but Hell! If you think you deserve Heaven-then you are not a Christian.
恩典是对那些完全不配得到任何恩惠的人所显示的恩惠。我们除了地狱什么都不配得！如果你认为你配得天堂，那么你就不是基督徒。
The Cross not only shows the love of God more gloriously than anything else-it also shows His righteousness, His justice, His holiness, and all the glory of His eternal attributes. They are all to be seen shining together there.
十字架不仅比任何其他事物更荣耀地展示了上帝的爱，它还展示了祂的公义、祂的正义、祂的圣洁，以及祂永恒属性的所有荣耀。它们都可以在那里看到一起闪耀。
Some tend to think that Christianity is a matter of being nice. But niceness is purely biological. One dog is nicer than another dog!
有些人倾向于认为基督教是一个友善的问题。但友善纯粹是生物学的。一只狗比另一只狗更友善！
We must never parade ourselves!
我们绝不能炫耀自己！
Do you think that you deserve God’s forgiveness? If you do, then you are not a Christian.
你认为你配得上帝的宽恕吗？如果你认为配得，那么你就不是基督徒。
When a man truly sees himself, he knows that nobody can say anything about him that is too bad.

The trouble with man is not intellectual-but moral.
人的问题不是智力上的，而是道德上的。
If you claim to love Christ and yet are living an unholy life, there is only one thing to say about you: You are an impudent liar!
如果你声称爱基督，却过着不圣洁的生活，那么只有一件事可以说你：你是一个厚颜无耻的骗子！
The man who refuses to face the fact of his own death is a fool!
拒绝面对自己死亡事实的人是个傻瓜！
To divorce forgiveness of sins from the actual living of the Christian life, is nothing but rank heresy!
将罪的赦免与实际的基督徒生活分离，无异于公然的异端！
Christians are generally at their best, when they are in the furnace of affliction.
基督徒通常在苦难的熔炉中表现最好。
If you are not holy, you are not a Christian.

There are no shortcuts in the Christian life-no simple remedies.

Nothing we do in the Christian life is harder than prayer.
在基督徒的生活中，没有什么比祷告更难的了。
Intellectual pride is the last citadel of self.
知识上的骄傲是自我的最后堡垒。
We have come to realize that a man can be educated and cultured, and still be a beast!
我们已经意识到，一个人可以受过教育，有教养，但仍然可能是一头野兽！
The biggest hoax in the world for the last 150 years, has been the theory of evolution!

女士时装表演和狗展之间几乎没有什么区别！
