I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul’s safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power.
– Samuel Chadwick –
If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem to be against us, we do not believe Him at all.
– Charles Spurgeon –
God’s purpose in your life is not prosperity, it is not your health, it is not wealth and more than anything, it is not to have your best life now. God’s purpose for you as His son is to make you holy and according to the image of Christ.
– Paul Washer –
Lord, give to me a quiet heart that does not ask to understand but confident steps forward in darkness guided by Thy Word.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
The faith that has not a sanctifying influence on the character is no better than the faith of devils.
– JC Ryle –
[Don’t] spend more time in analyzing, in collecting materials, and in hard thinking than on prayer, on seeking God’s mind, and on waiting for the power from above.
– Watchman Nee –
Those who know where the treasure lies joyfully abandon everything else to secure it.
– DA Carson –
You become stronger only when you become weaker. When you surrender your will to God, you discover the resources to do what God requires.
– Erwin Lutzer –
Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.
