When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.

What true revival is – Andrew Murray
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.

Heavenly hope or an earthly heart? – William Gurnall
Nothing is more contrary to a heavenly hope than an earthly heart.

The Church and the World Can’t Jog Together – Catherine Booth
When the church and the world can jog comfortably along together, you can be sure something is wrong. The world has not compromised—its spirit is exactly the same as it ever was. If Christians were equally as faithful to the Lord, separated from the world, and living so that their lives were a reproof to all ungodliness, the world would hate them as much as it ever did. It is the church that has compromised, not the world.

A People Consecrated to God – John Wesley
Oh that God would give me the thing which I long for! That … I may see a people wholly devoted to God, crucified to the world, and the world crucified to them. A people truly given up to God in body, soul and substance! How cheerfully would I then say, “Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.”
– John Wesley –
The World Understands Love – DL Moody
The world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy.
– DL Moody –
One Hour With God – David Brainerd
Oh! One hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.
– David Brainerd –
Not Surprised in These Days – Andrew Strom
Now, it should not surprise us that there are strong deceptions or “powerful delusions” around today, for this is exactly what the Scriptures predict will happen. All the way through the New Testament we are warned of these days—over and over again.
