If two angels were to receive at the same moment a commission from God, one to go down and rule earth’s grandest empire, the other to go and sweep the streets of its meanest village, it would be a matter of entire indifference to each which service fell to his lot, the post of ruler or the post of scavenger; for the joy of angels lies in obedience to God’s will.
– John Newton –
1725-1807
Whenever you make up your mind to refuse to go where God wants you to go and to do what God wants you to do, you must make up your mind at the same time to renounce the friendship of God. You cannot walk with Him and at the same time be in rebellion against Him … it is mere mockery, to say “Lord, Lord” and then refuse to do the things that He commands you to do.
– Clovis G. Chappell –
We never test the resources of God until we attempt the
IMPOSSIBLE.

Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one’s will to God in deep humility.
– Charles Finney –
Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin. … The purpose of the Bible is to bring men to Christ, to make them holy and prepare them for heaven. In this it is unique among books, and it always fulfills its purpose when it is read in faith and obedience.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitivity to sin.
– Oswald Chambers –
A partial obedience is a disobedience and a partial truth is a lie.
– Art Katz –
Instant obedience is the only kind of real obedience that exists. Obedience on your own timetable is not true obedience.
