May God raise up from among our theologians many who will dedicate their lives to see that God’s Holy Spirit is recognized in the lives of believers, in the ministry of the Word by tongue and pen, and in all the work done in His church.

Any church that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist.
– Oswald J. Smith –
If God were to take the Holy Spirit out of this world, much of what the church is doing would go right on; and nobody would know the difference.
– AW Tozer –
Our Lord has . . .
many weak children in His family,
many dull pupils in His school,
many raw soldiers in His army,
many lame sheep in His flock.
Yet He bears with them all, and casts none away.
Blessed is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
– JC Ryle –
We are coming into a time when many churches and Christians who are in leadership positions will be able to say, “It’s all about discipleship and transformation into Christlikeness.”
– Dallas Willard –
In the end there will be people who did the work of the Lord. They were busy in the church. They had done many wonderful works. But Jesus Himself says, “I never knew you” [Matthew 7:23].
– Billy Graham –
Revival will come only to a desperate church, not a contented one. He is ever the rewarder of those who “diligently seek Him,” not the mere casual inquirer.
– Al Whittinghill –
I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
– William Booth –
The world out there is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity; it’s waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity.
