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.

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 –

One of the special marks of the Holy Ghost in the Apostolic [Early] Church was the spirit of boldness … holy audacity … all things are possible unto him that believeth.

If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.

The true man of God is heartsick. He is . . .
grieved at the worldliness of the Church,
grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church,
grieved at the prayerlessness in the Church.

God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.
