The early church was acclimated to the upper room; today’s cultural church is acclimated to the supper room. Our church dinners are packed, our prayer rooms are empty, but we want apostolic power. Apostolic power follows apostolic succession.

What nobler decoration of honor can any godly man seek after than his scars of service, his losses for the crown, his reproaches for Christ’s sake, his being worn out in his Master’s service.

from “Streams in the Desert”
Do you see, do you see all the people sinking down? Don’t you care, don’t you care? Are you gonna let them drown? How can you be so numb not to care if they come. You close your eyes and pretend the job’s done. ‘Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord’ you know it’s all I ever hear. No one aches, no one hurts, no one even sheds one tear.
– Keith Green –
When I think of how great my sins were, how dear were the precious drops which cleansed me from them, I am in a maze of wondering, worshiping affection. I bow before the throne which absolves me; clasp the cross which delivers me; I serve henceforth the Incarnate God, through whom I am this day a pardoned soul!
– Charles Spurgeon –
A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.
– C. S. Lewis –
If you’re having trouble trying to figure out if you’re lukewarm, then let me help you out: If you’re not on fire for God in this life, then you’ll be on fire in hell during the next!

As long as I am something, Jesus cannot be everything.

When you truly love, you know beforehand that you will experience great pain in the future.
