When Alone with God – Samuel Chadwick
When alone with God, be alone with Him.

What Hinders You From Hearing God’s Voice? – Andrew Murray
Nothing so effectually hinders hearing God’s voice as opening the heart too much to other voices. A heart too deeply interested in the news, the literature, and the society of this world cannot hear the divine voice. It needs stillness, retirement, and concentration to give God the heed He claims.

Too Many Christians Are At Home in the World – AW Tozer
The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world. In their effort to achieve restful adjustment to unregenerate society they have lost their pilgrim character and become an essential part of the very moral order against which they are sent to protest. The world recognizes them and accepts them for what they are. And this is the saddest thing that can be said about them. They are not lonely, but neither are they saints.

We Need the Church on Fire – Samuel M. Zwemer
A man set on fire is an apostle of his age …Tell me, is your ministry a burning and shining light, or a smoking wick, slowly dying out to ashes? … We need the dynamic of a flaming ministry that will set the Church on fire.

Man in Favor with God – Greg Gordon
God can gift people, but it is something else when a man is in favour with God; when God can say “For this man’s sake, I will not judge this city or will show favour to this church.”

Let the Cross Slay You Utterly – AW Tozer
Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness. So do not seek to hide from it. Do not accept an easy way. Do not allow yourself to be patted to sleep in a comfortable church, void of power and barren of fruit. Do not paint the cross nor deck it with flowers. Take it for what it is, as it is, and you will find it the rugged way to death and life. Let it slay you utterly.
