Some wish to live within the sound of church or chapel bell. I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.

Gospel
August 19, 2012
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.

Christ in you, on the grounds of redemption – this is the Gospel! To preach anything less than this must inevitably produce “Evan-jellyfish” folk with no spiritual vertebrae, whose faith does not “behave!”

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.

from That Incredible Christian

Seest thou the necessity of that inward change, that spiritual birth, that life from the dead, that holiness? And art thou thoroughly convinced, that without it no man shall see the Lord?

from his sermon “Awake, Thou That Sleepest”

If I am adopted, I have become a child; God is no longer my judge, but my Father.

from his sermon “The Eighth Chapter of Romans”
June 24, 2012
An honest, consistent, godly character, is a sermon all the week. The godly Christian–pure of heart and unspotted by the world–is the best preacher of the gospel. The revival which is most urgently needed, is a revival of practical godliness. Sunday preaching is not enough; we need more “sermons all through the week.”

O God, wake us up to Jesus, give us His passion for prayer and His passion for people.
May our needs drive us to Thee and the needs of others drive us to them.

Dr. A.W. Tozer mentioned recently that, ‘We are not only going to be judged for what we have done; we are going to be judged for what we could have done.’ That hurts. Oh what we could have done! Oh the sacrifices we could have made, the prayers we could have offered, the tears for the lost we could have shed, the souls we could have won to Christ! There are resources in God that we believers have never touched; there is wealth, spiritual wealth in God that we have never discovered; there is power in God that we have left untapped–all because we have been faithless and unbelieving.
