Great cathedrals and costly houses of worship dazzle our eyes and stir the wonder of the passerby; mighty throngs stream through their aisles every Sabbath; and yet there is a situation that chills the hearts of many of God’s wisest servants. It is a good time to inquire, ‘Where is the Lord God of Elijah?’
– Rev. E. K. Cox –
Some people spend their entire life jumping from one experience to another; their desire, their cistern is experience. I know some people that started out well and have gone astray because all they talk about now is revival. They want revival, revival, revival – I don’t want revival, I want Christ! And if we have Christ there will be revival.
– Paul Washer –
With every possible guile that he knows, the devil would snatch us from the closet of prayer. For in prayer man is linked with God, and in that union Satan is baffled and beaten.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
You may know all about the doctrine of sanctification, but are you running it out into the practical issues of your life? Every bit of your life physical, moral and spiritual, is to be judged by the standard of the Atonement.
– Oswald Chambers –
Reader, would you be holy? There is only one way. All other roads lead down to deeper mire. Christ must come in. All is dark death, except where Jesus lives. All is pure life and loveliness, where Jesus reigns. Draw near and nearer to the Gospel-page. There gaze on Christ, until the soul’s features melt into His likeness. The Gospel heard, and read, and loved, are the bright wings on which the Spirit flies. The Spirit’s presence brings the Savior near. The Savior welcomed, is all Holiness begun. The Savior cherished, is all Holiness advancing. The Savior never absent, is Holiness complete. Holiness complete, is heaven’s full blaze.
– Henry Law –
To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings.
– George Müller –
Come, Lord Jesus, come. All is wrong where You are not.
– Ben Zornes –
A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God’s Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
It is our duty not only to hold fast, but to hold forth the word of life; not only to hold it fast for our own benefit, but to hold it forth for the benefit of others, to hold it forth as the candlestick holds forth the candle, which makes it appear to advantage all around, or as the luminaries of the heavens, which shed their influence far and wide.
– Matthew Henry –
