You can sing all you want about how you love Jesus, you can have crocodile tears in your eyes, but the consecration that doesn’t reach your purse has not reached your heart.
– Adrian Rogers –
Spirit-filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God.
– Samuel Chadwick –
Lord Jesus, I ask Thee, give unto me movement in Thy love without measure; desire without limit; longing without order; burning without discretion. Truly the better the love of Thee is, the greedier it is; for neither by reason is it restrained, nor be dread thronged, nor by doom tempted.
– Richard Rolle –
The spirit of prayer is pressing forth of the soul out of this earthly life; it is a stretching with all its desire after the life of God, to be one life, one love, one spirit with Christ in God.
– William Law –
Marriage can either be a taste of Heaven on earth or hell on earth, depending on where you place the Cross.
– CT Studd –
In the Gospel, the Spirit is not a Spirit of bondage and fear, but a Spirit of power and of love.
(see Romans 8:15, 2 Timothy 1:7)

Be persuaded, timid soul, that He has loved you too much to cease loving you.
– Francis Fenelon –
In biblical thinking, genuine love exists only when good works are done in a context where God rather than the doer gets the credit.
