Cool & Relevant in a Dying World – Eric Ludy

We’ve been so concerned about being cool, relevant, and fun that we have forgotten to be bread, light, and life to a hungry, dark, and dying world.

Cling to the Gospel in Suffering – Charles Spurgeon

The more I suffer the more I cling to the gospel. It is true, and the fires only burn it into clearer certainty to my soul. I have lived on the gospel, and I can die on it. Never question it.

– Charles Spurgeon –
from Letters of Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The Gospel Always Brings Life – Jackie Pullinger

The gospel always brings life to the receiver and death to the giver. If the gospel brought death to Jesus Christ why would we think that in preaching the gospel it would be any less for us?

An Available Message – Vance Havner

It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.

Charles Finney on Evangelism

Christian people, are you figuring round and round to get a little property, yet neglecting souls? Beware lest you ruin souls that can never live again! Do you say— “I thought they knew it all?” They reply to you, “I did not suppose you believed a word of it yourselves. You did not act as if you did. Are you going to heaven? Well, I am going down to hell! There is no help for me now. You will sometimes think of me then, as you shall see the smoke of my woe rising up darkly athwart the glorious heavens. After I have been there a long, long time, you will sometimes think that I, who once lived by your side, am there. O remember, you cannot pray for me then; but you will remember that once you might have warned and might have saved me.”

Preach the Gospel – Charles Finney

Ministers often preach about the Gospel instead of preaching the Gospel. They often preach about sinners instead of preaching to them.
