Arrows from Billy Sunday’s Quiver

If you were perfect in your neighbour’s eyes, I’m afraid you would never win the crown of glory.

The Devil has never yet succeeded in producing an hypocrite who did not blacken when he was dipped into the acid of suffering.

There isn’t a man who can be perfect in his wife’s eyes for three days—and no man can completely please his wife for fifteen minutes.

Many profess to be Christians—and live like devils.

The Devil has been going to church since the time of Job, and he hasn’t missed a meeting yet.

Start praying for someone else, and God will bless you.

Don’t expect to get more light from God until you’ve used the light you already have. If you wait for more, you’ll wake up in hell while you’re waiting.

You’re a fool if you wait until you know all there is to know about God before you repent. Repent now—or you will go to hell.

I have never seen nor heard of a man who, on his deathbed, rejected Christianity in favour of freethinking.

There are plenty of preachers who don’t know Jesus. They know about Him—but they don’t know Him.

You can pray till you’re blue in the face and you’ve pulled your hair out, but you’re wasting your time unless you do the will of God.
