Even preachers, elders, deacons and stewards may not be members of the body of Christ, but merely church members. INCONSISTENT CHURCH MEMBERS. Don’t start a Christian life and compromise on a pack of cards. Religion is not for time, money, applause or politics, but for God first, last and all the time. There never was an honest draft from an honest heart that was refused at the bank window of heaven. If you worked for God as hard as you do for the devil, you wouldn’t be up against it. If you’re a backslider, you’re a liar, a perjurer and you’ve broken your marriage vows with God. Many men may be true to their business, to their lodge and to their wives, but dirty liars to God. You can graduate from the best university on God’s dirt and make a cold storage plant out of your brain, but without Jesus you aren’t worth a cent. There is as much connection between some church members and Jesus as there is between a wooden leg and the man that wears it. Life is just chuck full of half-done things. CHRISTIANS CAN’T LIVE DOUBLE LIVES. It don’t make any difference with God whether the one who sins wears a coat or petticoat; plug hat or a hairpin. This double-standard business is the curse of humanity today. God demands the same standard of purity in man as he does in woman. There are a lot of lobsters here tonight who, if their wives lived the lives they did, would be down at the court house whining for divorces tomorrow morning. You can’t cut the week up into seven parts, call six secular and one Sunday when you go to church and listen to a little sermonette, and expect to be saved. You are a blackguard liar when you say every man and woman have a price. Most men are honest; most women are virtuous. It’s the dishonest man and the woman with no virtue that are in the minority. Lots of people start on a royal race in life, but compromise at the finish in a mouse hole. A HIGH TRIBUTE TO THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF GEN. LEE. Billy Sunday paid the following tribute to the Christian character of General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate forces in the Civil War: “There is no man I so delight to honor as the man who is true. There is no woman I so delight to honor as the woman who is true. There is no one I so abhor as a man or woman whose words are untruth and whose promises are as vapor. I may differ from a man in politics or religion, and if he is living up to his highest ideals, even if I think those ideals wrong, I respect him and I will do my best to clear up his errors and lead him to the sunlit hills of God’s pardon.
