A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!
– Billy Sunday –
Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late – and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work.

Sometimes the best way to silence the Noise going on around you, is to simply choose to turn it off, and tune into the Heart of God. His voice overpowers any Noise this world makes.
– Heather Elyse –
See to it that we pray more than we preach and we will never preach ourselves out.
– AW Tozer –
Beware that you are not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
– John Wesley –
The first thing I ask is that people should not make use of my name, and should not call themselves Lutherans but Christians. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine. Nor was I crucified for anyone. How did I, poor stinking bag of maggots that I am, come to the point where people call the children of Christ by my evil name?
– Martin Luther –
As long as your sin breaks your heart, as long as your disobedience makes you lie awake nights and wet your pillow in tears there is hope for you. But when you become contented with your wickedness, when you come to believe that it is the best possible for you, then you are in danger indeed.
– Clovis G. Chappell –
It is a contradiction to be a true Christian and not humble.
– Richard Baxter –
Prayer alone will overcome the gigantic difficulties which confront the workers in every field.
