You might as well expect to raise the dead by whispering in their ears, as hope to save souls by preaching to them, if it were not for the agency of the Spirit.

You Need the Power of the Holy Spirit – Charles Spurgeon
Storms are Temporary – William Gurnall
Let this encourage those of you who belong to Christ: the storm may be tempestuous, but it is only temporary. The clouds that are temporarily rolling over your head will pass, and then you will have fair weather, an eternal sunshine of glory. Can you not watch with Christ for one hour?

Why You Should “Waste Your Life” – Nate Saint
People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives … and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted.

Here Is What You Should Do For Those Going to Hell – Charles Spurgeon
If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one GO there UNWARNED and UNPRAYED for.

Eternity Meant Everything – Oswald J. Smith
In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God… To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.
– Oswald J. Smith –
The Poisonous Weed of Sin – AW Tozer
Sin is a poisonous weed that throws the whole nature out of order. The inner life disintegrates; the flesh lusts after forbidden pleasures; the moral judgment is distorted so that often good appears evil and evil good; time is chosen over eternity, earth over heaven and death over life.

Live with an Eternal Perspective – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities.

Our Spiritual Eyes Need a Refocus – Leonard Ravenhill
We need to pray until we get our spiritual eyes refocused on the holiness of God and the lostness of men.
