The soul is purged and prepared for union with the divine light just as the wood is prepared for transformation into the fire . . . by heating and enkindling it from without the fire transforms the wood into itself and makes it as beautiful as itself.
– St. John of the Cross –
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

An unholy church! it is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell’s laughter, heaven’s abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Get rid of this bunkum about the ‘carnal Christian’. Forget it! If you’re carnal, you’re not saved.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.
– Randy Alcorn –
“It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God’s truth and remain in sin.”
– Oswald Chambers –
Study the history of revival. God has always sent revival in the darkest days. Oh, for a mighty, sweeping revival today!

Nobody else can give you a clean heart but God.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Before the whole world, yes, before the sleepless, lukewarm, faithless, namby-pamby Christian world, we will dare to trust our God, we will venture our all for Him, we will live and we will die for Him, and we will do it with His joy unspeakable singing aloud in our hearts.
