A true revival means nothing less than a revolution, casting out the spirit of worldliness and selfishness, and making God and His love triumph in the heart and life.

Flesh – Carnal Nature – Selfishness

The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Saviour from hell rather than a Saviour 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.

Sinned as we have as a nation, yet to our sin we have added pride in our sinning. The world has lost the power to blush over its vice; the church has lost her power to weep over it.

It becomes all professing Christians to be much on their guard against flattery. We mistake greatly if we suppose that persecution and hard usage are the only weapons in Satan’s armory. That crafty foe has other engines for doing us mischief, which he knows well who to work. He knows how to poison souls by the world’s seductive kindness, when he cannot frighten them by the fiery dart and the sword. Let us not be ignorant of his devices. By peace he destroys many.

There was a day when I died, utterly died—died to George Mueller, his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will!—died to the world, its approval or censure —died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friend,— and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.

Circumstances which we have resented, situations which we have found desperately difficult, have all been the means in the hands of God of driving the nails into the self-life which so easily complains.

A carnal heart thinks, I must have my wants made up or else it is impossible that I should be content. But a gracious heart says, “What is the duty of the circumstances God has put me into?”

You know, we live in a day when we are more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness.

You say to me; “Oh brother, we are ‘in the world’ [and not of it].” Sure you are, but you don’t have to pump it into your living room!! Garbage in, Garbage out !!!
