Chief danger of our times – William Booth

Chief danger of our times – William Booth

The chief danger of the 20th century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.

Forever with the Lord – Archbishop Usher

Forever with the Lord – Archbishop Usher

When Peter saw Moses and Elijah with Christ in his transfiguration, though he had but a glimpse of glory, yet he says “It is good for us to be here.” But Oh! How infinitely good it will be to be in heaven. How shall we then be rapt up with glory, when we shall be forever with the Lord!

Waiting Souls – Thomas Brooks

Waiting Souls – Thomas Brooks

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him (Lam 3:25). Waiting souls, remember this assurance is yours, but the time of the giving it is the Lord’s; the jewel is yours, but the season in which he will give it is in his own hand: the gold chain is yours, but he only knows the hour wherein he will put it about your necks.

Well! Wait patiently and quietly, wait expectantly, wait believingly, wait affectionately, and wait diligently, and you shall find that scripture made good in power upon your souls, “Yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry,” (Heb 10:37, Hab 2:3).

Heaven is Sweeter – Richard Baxter

Heaven is Sweeter – Richard Baxter

I think heaven is the sweeter because many of my old, lovely, affectionate, holy friends are there, and I am the more willing by death to follow them. And should it not be more pleasing to think that my God and Father, my Saviour and Comforter, are there?

– Richard Baxter –
from the book Dying Thoughts, 1683

Blasts from Heaven – Smith Wigglesworth

Pentecost came with the sound of a mighty rushing wind, a violent blast from heaven! Heaven has not exhausted its blasts, but our danger is we are getting frightened of them.

You represent heaven on earth – Andrew Murray

We must be willing to live as entirely different men, who literally represent heaven on earth, because we have received the Spirit of the King of heaven.
