"Goodness does not roll over and play dead when it is confronted with evil." --Lt. Colonel Eugene Pigford
"We should put more force and fire into our work than has hitherto been exhibited by anyone." --William Booth
"We are an army of soldiers of Christ seeking no church status, avoiding as we would the plague every denominational rut, in order perpetually to reach more and more of those who live outside every church boundary." --George Scott Railton
"The time has come for fire. All other agents have been tried: intellect, learning, fine buildings, wealth, respectability, numbers. Try the fire." --Catherine Booth
"The object for which this Army exists is to seize the slaves of sin and not only set them free and turn them into children of God, but as far as possible, to make them soul winners." --William Booth
"To say, 'I must sin' is to deny my Savior. To say, "I cannot sin' is to deceive myself. To say, 'I need not sin' is to declare my faith in Divine power." --Bramwell Tripp
"We live in an age that is seductively desensitizing us to evil. What once might have appalled and embarrassed us, perhaps even angered us, now only makes us feel sad. Our age cries out for men and women of God whose lives stand in stark contrast to the darkness that surrounds us." --Paul Rader
"The Bible asks us to do the impossible and then He gives us the power to do it." --John Larsson
"Read and study the Bible as two young lovers read and study each other's letters." --Samuel Logan Brengle
"Society is paying the consequences of the pollution of our moral ecosystems with pornography and permissiveness and more subtle but powerful messages that incite to morally outrageous behaviors." --Kay F. Rader
"The nature of man was not constructed to harbor evil. Sin is an intruder." --Bramwell Booth

37:39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble. 37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Passion like these is what made that organization so great!
Steve: I have heard William Boothe credited for this saying but I am not sure if it is his or is quoted correctly. It says: "If a man could spend just 5 minutes in Hell he would become the world's greatest evangelist." Something to that effect. Have you heard that? |

| Bro. Todd: I've not heard that quote from Booth before, but it does sound like something he would say. |

Tomorrow I am preaching on overcoming discouragement to our residents at the ARC. Here is another great Army quote from Eliza Shirley
"Discouragement is a curse. When a person is discouraged, the battle is lost. Neither God nor man can use a discourage person. Trials and difficulties are never meant to be discouragements. If they become discouragements, it is because we have been defeated. We have forgotten their ministry to us."
May we never be defeated |

Steve, thanks for the great collection for our church fathers (and mothers).
For years, I've heard versions of the quote you attribute to Scott, which I've also seen credited to others in the Army's early history. However, I've never been able to find any first-hand references. By chance did you find yours in any of the books (or booklets) Scott penned? |
