God give me a deep humility, a well-guided zeal, a burning love and a single eye, and then let men or devils do their worst.

Before the Sleepless, Lukewarm, Faithless, Namby-pamby Christian World – CT Studd
We will not build on the sand, but on the bedrock of the sayings of Christ, and the gates and minions of hell shall not prevail against us. Should such men as we fear? Before the whole world, yes, before the sleepless, lukewarm, faithless, namby-pamby Christian world, we will dare to trust our God, we will venture our all for Him, we will live and we will die for Him, and we will do it with His joy unspeakable singing aloud in our hearts. We will a thousand times sooner die trusting only in our God than live trusting in man. And when we come to this position the battle is already won, and the end of the glorious campaign in sight. We will have the real Holiness of God, not the sickly stuff of talk and dainty words and pretty thoughts; we will have a Masculine Holiness, one of daring faith and works for Jesus Christ.

What God Wants To Do Through Us – Oswald Chambers
If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.

No Other Peace Than a Cross – George Whitefield
All I can say is I look for perpetual conflicts and struggles in this life, and I hope for no other peace, only a cross, while on this side of eternity.

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?

Difficult and Left Untried – GK Chesterton
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.

Keep me. Lord, from fainting
In this fierce fight,
When the foe is rising,
Clothe me with Thy might.
