Isn’t it staggering when you think that one sermon on the day of Pentecost produced 3000 people? And we had some cities yesterday where 3000 sermons were preached and nobody was saved. And it doesn’t even faze us.

Believing is Seeing – Charles Spurgeon
While carnal men say seeing is believing, we assure them that to us believing is seeing.

Charles Finney on Evangelism
Christian people, are you figuring round and round to get a little property, yet neglecting souls? Beware lest you ruin souls that can never live again! Do you say— “I thought they knew it all?” They reply to you, “I did not suppose you believed a word of it yourselves. You did not act as if you did. Are you going to heaven? Well, I am going down to hell! There is no help for me now. You will sometimes think of me then, as you shall see the smoke of my woe rising up darkly athwart the glorious heavens. After I have been there a long, long time, you will sometimes think that I, who once lived by your side, am there. O remember, you cannot pray for me then; but you will remember that once you might have warned and might have saved me.”

Eternity – Thomas Watson
Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.

What is Repentance – Paris Reidhead
A person repents when he comes to the place where he discovers that the will of God is the government of his life and the glory of God is the reason for his life. He only has repented who has changed his mind about his reason for being.

Carnal Christians? – Leonard Ravenhill
Get rid of this bunkum about the “carnal Christian.” Forget it! If you’re carnal, you’re not saved.

The High Price of Jesus’ Atonement – Paris Reidhead
Do you realize this? That if you were to somehow purpose to, from this day on, perfectly please God and succeed in doing it, that that perfect obedience, from this moment, would not acquire in the remainder of your life, enough merit to atone for one past sin, because God exacts and God demands perfect obedience and there’s no merit for giving him the minimal requirement.

We Were Made for Another World – CS Lewis
If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

We Are Called to Proclaim the Simple Gospel – Charles Spurgeon
We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man’s fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.
