Times of Revival – EM Bounds
To look back upon the progress of the divine kingdom upon earth is to review revival periods which have come like refreshing showers upon dry and thirsty ground, making the desert to blossom as the rose, and bringing new eras of spiritual life and activity just when the Church had fallen under the influence of the apathy of the times.

To Be Where God Is – Dr. Paul Rees
To be where God is quietly talked about seems a lovely thing. But to be where God really grips us is a risky matter. As long as a Living God is about and given any chance at all, it will be found dangerous to be in His presence. Dangerous, that is, to everything that is more to our liking than it is to His. Church going should be dangerous to our self-esteem and self-satisfaction.

The Old Cross vs. The New Cross – AW Tozer
The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.

Christmas Is Based On An Exchange of Gifts – Vance Havner
Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts: the gift of God to man—[the] gift of His son—and the gift of man to God—when we present our bodies as a living sacrifice.

No Such Things as a Saved Sinner – Leonard Ravenhill
You know, people say that today. “Oh, I am just a saved sinner.” That is like saying you are a married bachelor. That is like saying you are an honest thief. … You are either saved or you are a sinner.
