Quotes from William Still

The question has been sincerely asked by several who are concerned about the young folk in our Church, ‘What are you going to provide for young people who do not, or will not, come to the Sunday services, the mid-week service, and the Prayer Meeting?’ The answer is, ‘Nothing!’ If by adolescence young people have not learned to enjoy the services of the Church, then we have failed, or they have failed. To say that we must provide alternatives for those who have no taste or inclination for what Christ and His Church provides, is an impertinence which insults our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the Church of any day or nation to think that its life and health depend upon stratagems and movements, is to fail to see that all it needs in any age and place is there, once and for all, in the Bible. All else needed is the Spirit of God blowing through the clean lives of its ministers and taking up the living words of Scripture to send them home to hearts prepared by prayer.
