Confess your sin with honesty, be pardoned with certainty.

Proclaiming the Gospel – Underground Church
Never give up in freedom what we would never give up in persecution.

from Insanity of God
Preaching Cheap Grace – Vance Havner
We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.
– Vance Havner –
Words of Jesus – John G. Lake
Take the words of Jesus and let them become the Supreme Court of the Gospel to you.

New Life – AW Tozer
The Gospel is concerned with a new life, with a birth upward onto a new level of being, and until it is effected such a rebirth it has not done a saving work within the soul.

from God’s Pursuit of Man
Preaching 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.
– Charles Finney –
The pleasures of religion – Matthew Henry
The pleasures of religion will abide; they wither not in winter, nor tarnish with time, nor doth age wrinkle their beauty; frosts nip them not, nor do storms blast them; they continue through the greatest opposition of events, and despise that time and change, which happens to all things under the sun’ (Ecl 9:1). Believers, when they are sorrowful, they are but as sorrowful, for they are “always rejoicing” (2 Cor 6:10) and “Thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph” (2 Cor 2:14).
– Matthew Henry –
from The Pleasantness of a Religious Life, 1714
The Glory of the Gospel – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.

Called to Missions or to Stay at Home? – Hudson Taylor
It will not do to say that you have no special call to go to the mission field. With these facts before you and with the command of the Lord Jesus to go and preach the gospel to every creature, you need rather to ascertain whether you have a special call to stay at home.
