“I take what I see work.

“Well, I am a great believer in supercompensation. Short term overtraining leads to long-term success. I can hear the complaints about injuries, but, in truth, not too many of us suffer injuries that lead to surgery, according to those studies in the 1950′s.

“The lack of brotherhood among believers themselves has paralyzed the church in front of the skepticism and immorality of the world; but when we go back in simple faith to the one great fact of our redemption, we shall be both brought into closer fellowship with each other, and stimulated to more tender regard for the salvation of men.” MenWorldFactsChurchSimpleFrontsRegardSalvationBelieverRedemptionBrotherhoodSkepticismFellowshipImmoralityParalyzedSimple Faith Author:William Mackergo Taylor
