Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.
Billy Sunday Quotes
Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.

About
Billy Sunday was born near Ames, Iowa. He was an American athlete who, after being a popular outfielder in baseball's National League during the 1880s, became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century. His speed and agility provided him the opportunity to play baseball in the major leagues for eight years, where he was an average hitter and a good fielder known for his base-running. Converting to evangelical Christianity in the 1880s, Sunday left baseball for the Christian ministry.
