But we never can prove the delights of His love, until all on the altar we lay.

It is not enough just to know about Christ, or to know about what He did for us, nor even to experience His work in us. What is needed is to experience Him in us . . .

Revival will call for much love and humility, because it may please God to use one man more extensively than another. The fleece of one denomination may appear to be wet with the dews of heaven while another is only damp with it. In some cases God may use the least gifted of men – at least some would so judge them – and in the least likely of churches find a channel for His grace. May God preserve us from a spirit which would prefer to see no revival at all if it did not come in our form, after our pattern, and through our instrumentality.

Just as it is impossible to be both a plant and a seed, so it is impossible for us to be surrounded by worldly honor and at the same time bear heavenly fruit.

Revival and change are almost synonymous terms and both clearly cut across traditionalism. There is no way true revival can occur without major changes disrupting and reordering the life of the Church. . . . God is no traditionalist. While God is orderly, He is always fresh and vital. If a church can run according to forms and traditions of men, it will run without the presence and power of God . . . . Is it any wonder the love of tradition is an enemy to revival? Revival and new life go hand in hand . . . . Let every church realize that the inordinate love of tradition is a great opponent to revival . . . . When a church slays the love of tradition, a major obstacle to revival will be slain With it.

Our power in drawing others after the Lord mainly rests in our joy and communion with Him ourselves.

I would rather train twenty men to pray, than a thousand to preach – A minister’s highest mission ought to be to teach his people to pray.
