A spiritual awakening is no more than God’s people seeing God in His holiness, turning from their wicked ways, and being transformed into His likeness.

Delivered From Sin and the Power of Sin – J. Edwin Orr
God Who delivers us from the guilt of sin through faith in Jesus Christ, is able to deliver the believer from the power of sin as well.

Christians Are Cowards – Charles Finney
If Christians were not such cowards, and absolutely disobedient to this plain command of God… one thing would certainly come of it — either they would be murdered in the streets as martyrs, because men could not bear the intolerable presence of truth, or they would be speedily converted to God.
– Charles Finney –
Conformed to and Confident in Christ – Thomas Brooks

Don’t Refuse the Light – Oswald Chambers
It is a matter of indifference to God’s grace how abominable I am if I come to the light; but woe be to me if I refuse the light. (See John 3:19-21)

A Picture of Revival – James A. Stewart
Revival is the people of God constrained, gripped, overmastered, and overwhelmed by the love of Christ, so that they are feverishly restless to win souls for Christ.

Biblical Grace Doesn’t Allow for Sin – Randy Alcorn
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.

Jesus Wasn’t a Great Human Teacher – CS Lewis
You must make your choice: either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

IN Christ – Watchman Nee
Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words, “in Christ.”
– Watchman Nee –
