I’m not about to put up a silly skit and preach a 15-minute message on “how to cope” to a multitude of people who are dying and going to hell. I tremble at the thought.

Prayer shows how popular God is – Leonard Ravenhill
The Sunday morning service shows how popular your church is.
The evening services show how popular your pastor is.
Your private prayer time shows you how popular God is!

We Are A Salvation People – William Booth
We are a salvation people – this is our specialty – getting people saved and keeping them saved, and then getting somebody else saved…Look at this. Clear your vision. Halt, stand still and afresh and more fully apprehend and comprehend your calling. You are to be a worker together with God for the salvation of your fellow men. What is the business of your life? Not merely to save your soul and make yourself meet for Paradise?… No, you are to be a redeemer, a savior, a copy of Jesus Christ Himself. So consecrate every awakened power to the great end of saving them. Rescue the perishing. They are all around you everywhere, crowds upon crowds, multitudes. Be skillful. Improve yourself. Study your business. Be self-sacrificing. Remember the Master. What you lose for His sake, and for the sake of the poor souls for whom He died, you shall find again. Stick to it. Having put your hand to the salvation plough, don’t look behind you

What Will Confront The Twentieth Century – William Booth
I consider that the chief dangers which will confront the twentieth century will be: Religion without the Holy Spirit; Christianity without Christ; Forgiveness without regeneration; Morality without God and Heaven without Hell.

That Doesn’t Make You A Christian – Laurence J. Peter

between yourself and God – JC Ryle
Whether you have family prayers in your house or not, your relations know. But whether you pray in private or not, is a matter between yourself and God.

Sleeping to Hell or Sweating to Heaven? – Thomas Watson
Are there not millions of us who would rather go sleeping to hell; than sweating to heaven?

The Bible Suffers More From … – Leonard Ravenhill
The Holy Book of the living God suffers more from its exponents today than from its opponents.

God Is Looking For Better Men – EM Bounds
The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men … Men of prayer.
