Pastor Leonard Radtke Sayings
Though all these statements may not be original, they are a sample of Pastor
Radtke's more "quotable quotes."
- Challenging believers to live for Christ… "You’re going to
die doing something--you might as well die with your boots on serving Jesus
Christ."
- Challenging how the church cannot save… "You can slip right
off a church pew into hell, slicker than a banana peel!"
- Regarding the natural man… "If you don’t give them the gospel,
it’s just a lot of macaroni and spaghetti."
- Pertaining to the faith-rest life… "Are you standing on the
promises or sitting on the premises."
- Exhorting believers to serve Christ… "There are two groups of
people in the church: those who are willing to work and those who are willing to
let them."
- Concerning pastoral ministry… "Some people thing the pastor's
job is to match-em, batch-em, and dispatch-em."
- Regarding the unsaved skeptic… "People will say, 'The Lord is
just a crutch for you.' He's not a crutch - He's a stretcher!"
- Dealing with the urgency of witnessing… "Put on your Red Ball
Jets and get going!"
- Exposing the foolishness of salvation by works… "It's like
giving up dandelion greens for Lent."
- Referring to apostate churches… "They are religious stone
quarries… where there is religious gypsom and flopsom by religious cloak and
dagger men with turned around collars."
- Underscoring the need of salvation… "Our life span is three
score and ten, and by reason of strength, four score years… BUT the death rate
is still one apiece."
- Encouraging boldness in witnessing… "When I pick up a
hitchhiker, I tell him, ‘I dare you to shoot me, because if you do, I know I’m
going to heaven.’ Then I ask him if he knows where he is going when he dies.
It’s a perfect opportunity to share the gospel with him, because I now have his
attention."
- Encouraging a servant-mentality… "Any person in authority must
learn to serve first. Would you be willing to clean a toilet bowl in the church
for Jesus Christ?"
- Regarding the Saviour… "The only person who walked the face of
this earth who was 100% psychologically in balance was Jesus Christ."
