Great quotes from Bob Jones Sr.

When I started attending Bethany Free Pesbyterian Church in Portadown, N. Ireland in 1975, I always enjoyed the visits of Bob Jones Jr. to the church. I liked his southern 'drawl' and his colourful, expressive preaching.

I recently came across some of Bob Jones Sr.'s popular chapel sayings. Superb. BJ Sr. started Bob Jones University in 1927.

Here are a few quotes to whet your appetite:
