How as God loved me? God has loved me to the end of all my sinfulness, the end of all my self-will, all my selfishness, all my stiffneckedness, all my pride, all my self-interest; now He says – “love one another, as I have loved you.” I am to show to my fellow-men the same love that God showed to me. That is Christianity in practical working order.
– Oswald Chambers –
Sin does not leap upon us fully armed. It steals in through a look, a swift, silent suggestion or imagination, but love and loyalty to Jesus will make you watchful and swift to rise up and cast out the subtle enemy. Do this and you shall live, and live victoriously.
– Samuel Logan Brengle –
Holiness is not freedom from temptation, but power to overcome temptation.
– G. Campbell Morgan –
Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on Earth.
– John Wesley –
If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
A man should be like tea; his real strength [character] appearing when he gets in hot water.
– Unknown –
A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church.
– Billy Sunday –
A true revival means nothing less than a revolution, casting out the spirit of worldliness and selfishness, and making God and His love triumph in the heart and life.
