One of the special marks of the Holy Ghost in the Apostolic Church was the spirit of boldness.

The Price of the Prayer Meeting – Jim Cymbala
They will pay $15 for a Christian concert to hear a Christian singer and for free they won’t come into the presence of God and call upon the name of the Lord.

No Substitute for Action – David Livingstone
Sympathy is no substitute for action.

Don’t Lose Jesus – Vance Havner
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God’s name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.

The Mission of the Church – Oswald J. Smith
The mission of the church is missions.

Lead the Way – JD Drysdale
If I am concerned that my flock be men and women of prayer, then, as their pastor, I must lead the way; apathy in me will produce apathy in them. The church prayer meeting ought to be the best attended in the week, and if it is, success will follow the ministry of the Word at the weekends. I would rather a thousand times set men and women to pray than teach them to preach.

True Accountability – Joseph Mockler
Accountability without real accountability is not true accountability.
– Joseph Mockler –
A People Consecrated to God – John Wesley
Oh that God would give me the thing which I long for! That … I may see a people wholly devoted to God, crucified to the world, and the world crucified to them. A people truly given up to God in body, soul and substance! How cheerfully would I then say, “Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.”
– John Wesley –
