When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God.

The seriousness of sin – Tony Reinke
Christ’s blood reveals the seriousness of our sin. We insurrected the king. We defiled His glory. We deserve His wrath, and Christ absorbed it.

God’s training is for now – Oswald Chambers
God’s training is for now, not later. His purpose is for this very minute, not for sometime in the future. We have nothing to do with what will follow our obedience, and we are wrong to concern ourselves with it. What people call preparation, God sees as the goal itself.
– Oswald Chambers –
The Presence of God – Tim Dilena
When was the last time the presence of God made you forget what was going on around you?
– Tim Dilena –
Beside the Shepherd – AW Tozer
The only safe place for sheep is by the side of the shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the shepherd.

Grace for good works – Augustine
For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them.

354-430 AD
The riddle of the Christian life – Charles Spurgeon
The Christian’s life is a matchless riddle. No worldling can understand it. Dead, yet alive! Crucified with Christ, and yet at the same time Risen with Christ in newness of life! Union with the suffering, bleeding Saviour, and death to the world and sin, are soul-cheering things. O for more enjoyment of them.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Desperate for the Kingdom – James Denney
The Kingdom of Heaven is not for the well-meaning: it is for the desperate.
– James Denney –
Giving God control of our money – Adrian Rogers
You can sing all you want about how you love Jesus, you can have crocodile tears in your eyes, but the consecration that doesn’t reach your purse has not reached your heart.
