What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

Presuming You Are Saved? – Charles Spurgeon
Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Know the God of The Word – Leonard Ravenhill
You don’t need to [merely] know the word of God; you need to know the God of the word.

A Man To Tell You The Truth – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
A man who loves you the most is the man who tells you the most truth about yourself.

Unless Revival Comes – Duncan Campbell
There is a growing conviction everywhere, and especially among thoughtful people, that unless revival comes, other forces will take the field, that will sink us still deeper into the mire of humanism and materialism.

Times of Revival – EM Bounds
To look back upon the progress of the divine kingdom upon earth is to review revival periods which have come like refreshing showers upon dry and thirsty ground, making the desert to blossom as the rose, and bringing new eras of spiritual life and activity just when the Church had fallen under the influence of the apathy of the times.

I Would Choose To Be A Soul-Winner – Charles Spurgeon
Even if I were utterly selfish, and had no care for anything but my own happiness, I would choose, if I might, under God, to be a soul-winner, for never did I know perfect, overflowing, unutterable happiness of the purest and most ennobling order till I first heard of one who had sought and found the Saviour through my means. No young mother ever rejoiced so much over her first-born child, no warrior was so exultant over a hard-won victory.

A Revival to Cleanse and Revive – Mary Booth
How we have prayed for a revival — we did not care whether it was old-fashioned or not — what we asked for was that it should be such that would cleanse and revive His children and set them on fire to win others.

Revivals Begin With God’s Own People – Andrew Bonar
Revivals begin with God’s own people; the Holy Spirit touches their heart anew, and gives them new fervor and compassion, and zeal, new light and life, and when He has thus come to you, He next goes forth to the valley of dry bones … Oh, what responsibility this lays on the Church of God! If you grieve Him away from yourselves, or hinder His visit, then the poor perishing world suffers …
