Get your texts from God —your thoughts, your words, from God. … It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God’s Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
You have nothing to be proud of. If you are ever used at all, bear in mind that it is God speaking in you, and not you yourself.

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!”
Paul saw people sinking toward hell and did not talk of refining them, but of saving them from the wrath to come. He laid aside his preferences to prevent prejudice; He submitted his will in things indifferent, and if humankind would but receive the Gospel, he raised no questions about forms or ceremonies. Are we possessed with the same all-absorbing desire? Jesus died for sinners, can’t we live for them?
– Charles Spurgeon –
Our tent is pitched not in a paradise, but on a field of battle.
– LE Maxwell –
God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies.
– Hudson Taylor –
Don’t plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.
– Oswald Chambers –
We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.
– JC Ryle –
Oh my friends, we are loaded down with countless church activities, while the real work of the church, that of evangelizing the world and winning the lost, is almost entirely neglected!
– Oswald J. Smith –
