The life of a Christian is wondrously ruled in this world, by the consideration and meditation of the life of another world.

– Richard Sibbes –
Sin is a poisonous weed that throws the whole nature out of order. The inner life disintegrates; the flesh lusts after forbidden pleasures; the moral judgment is distorted so that often good appears evil and evil good; time is chosen over eternity, earth over heaven and death over life.

from The Warfare of the Spirit
The saintly Andrew Bonar used to soak his pillow with tears every Saturday night in Scotland as people below trampled the streets returning from the taverns and shows. He would cry from the depths of his agonizing heart, “Oh! They perish, they perish!”
I’m not about to put up a silly skit and preach a 15-minute message on “how to cope” to a multitude of people who are dying and going to hell. I tremble at the thought.
– David Wilkerson –
We need a Heaven-sent revival, a burning fire from on high, A purifying passion and a forsaking of our stubborn pride. We need a vision of eternity, of Hell and the Judgment Day, A fervent love for our Savior, that will gladly serve and obey. We need a Pentecostal purging and a breaking deep within, A vision of God Almighty and a river of tears for our nation’s sin. We need a Heaven-sent revival, a burning fire set ablaze. Yet, we’ll never see such glory, until the Church begins to pray

Making heaven on earth is our business.
– William Booth –
Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die; anothers life, anothers death, I stake my whole eternity.
– Horatius Bonar –
Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch and wave it wide,
The torch that lights time’s thickest gloom.
– Horatius Bonar –
It wasn’t trying to convince a GOOD MAN that he was in trouble with a bad GOD! But that it was to convince BAD MEN that they had deserved the wrath of a GOOD GOD!
