Give me a hundred men who fear nothing but God, and who hate nothing but sin, and who know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and I will shake the world.

Done too little for Him – George Müller
When the day of recompense comes, our only regret will be that we have done so little for Him, not that we have done too much.
– George Müller –
Holiness of heart and life – AB Simpson
Holiness of heart and life. This is not the perfection of the human nature, but the holiness of the divine nature dwelling within.
– AB Simpson –
Depend on God for everything – Jonathan Edwards
The work of a true convert is not done. He finds a great work to do and great wants to be supplied. He still sees himself to be a poor, empty, helpless creature who still stands in great and continual need of God’s help. He well knows that without God he can do nothing. After a true conversion, the soul is increasingly aware of its own impotence and emptiness. It is still aware of its universal dependence on God for everything.
– Jonathan Edwards –
You, Sin, and Christ – Charles Spurgeon
There must be a divorce between you and sin, or there can be no marriage between you and Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Are you a doer or a talker? – John Bunyan
At the day of Doom men shall be judged according to their fruits. It will not be said then, did you believe? But, were you doers or talkers only?
– John Bunyan –
Called Holy – JC Ryle
I cannot see how any man deserves to be called “holy,” who willfully allows himself in sins, and is not humbled and ashamed because of them.
– JC Ryle –
Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell – Leonard Ravenhill
Without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. Jesus didn’t die to save us from hell. That’s a fringe benefit! He died to get total occupation of us … [and to make us] holy in speech … in actions … in everything.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
I give up all my own plans and purposes – Betty Scott Stam
Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes. All my own desires and hopes and accept Your will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all, utterly to You to be Yours forever. Fill me and seal me with Your Holy Spirit. Use me as You will, send me where you will, work out Your whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever. To me to live is Christ. Amen.
