Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.

Sermons Should Offend – George Whitefield
It’s a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.
– George Whitefield –
A Noble Gift – Henry Drummond
What a noble gift it is, the power of playing upon the souls and wills of men, and rousing them to lofty purposes and holy deeds.

A Self-Centered Church Can’t Evangelize the World – John R. Mott
The invasion of the Church by the world is a menace to the extension of Christ’s Kingdom. In all ages conformity to the world by Christians has resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent lack of spiritual vision and enterprise. A secularized or self-centered Church can never evangelize the world.
– John R. Mott –
Saved From Hell or Saved From Sin? – AW Pink
The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.
– AW Pink –
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.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Evangelism Comes from Communion – JG Bellett
Our power in drawing others after the Lord mainly rests in our joy and communion with Him ourselves.

Work On Your Knees – AT Pierson
A marble cutter, with chisel and hammer, was changing a stone into a statue. A preacher looking on said: “I wish I could deal such changing blows on stony hearts.” The workman answered: “Maybe you could, if you worked like me, upon your knees.”
