Do you see, do you see all the people sinking down? Don’t you care, don’t you care? Are you gonna let them drown? How can you be so numb not to care if they come. You close your eyes and pretend the job’s done. ‘Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord’ you know it’s all I ever hear. No one aches, no one hurts, no one even sheds one tear.
– Keith Green –
While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight; while little children go hungry, as they do now, I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight–I’ll fight to the very end!
– William Booth –
We preachers have the most serious job in the world. It’s not to be popular, not to be nice. It’s to get people to step out of darkness into the light. Life is short. Eternity is long.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Love flows aggressively into the world through servanthood. Every time you get next to the heartbeat of God, it will spill out to the world in aggressive servanthood…. Not what we do for Him but what He does through us.
– Stephen Manley –
The chief danger of the Church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, instead of turning the world upside down. . . . God give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel and the Holy Ghost!”
– A. B. Simpson –
Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.
– Jim Elliot –
I am ready to burn out for God. I am ready to endure any hardship if by any means I
might save some. The longing of my heart is to make known my glorious Redeemer to
those who never heard.
