There will be no great Revival until the people of God are deeply convicted of their need of holiness.

The Need for a Revival of Prayer – Andrew Murray
The evangelization of the world depends first of all upon a revival of prayer. Deeper than the need for men—aye, deep down at the bottom of our spiritless life, is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing, world-wide prayer.
– Andrew Murray –
Give Yourselves to Prayer and the Ministry of the Word – Robert Murray McCheyne
Give yourselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. If you do not pray, God will probably lay you aside from your ministry, as He did me, to teach you to pray.

The Devil Trembles at Prayer – RA Torrey
When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, “he trembles” as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.

Holiness to the Modern Church – Nicky Cruz
Holiness and living a sin-free life is heresy to the modern church. The modern church is, quite simply, just the world with a Christian T-shirt on!

Activity or Accomplishment? – RA Torrey
We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.

The True Church – Leonard Ravenhill
One thing and one thing alone keeps us from complete decay in this hour: the church, the true Church.

Christians Are Cowards – Charles Finney
If Christians were not such cowards, and absolutely disobedient to this plain command of God… one thing would certainly come of it — either they would be murdered in the streets as martyrs, because men could not bear the intolerable presence of truth, or they would be speedily converted to God.
– Charles Finney –
Dead Men Preaching – Gilbert Tennent
For I am verily persuaded the generality of preachers talk of an unknown and unfelt Christ; and the reason why congregations have been so dead is, because they have had dead men preaching to them.
