More than 2 billion people who do not know Jesus head toward hell to perish for eternity, while the professing church laughs its way to hysteria, claiming this is the sign of the last days´ outpouring of the HolySpirit...My brothers and sisters, this is not Christianity.
- K.P. Yohannan

How do we worship our God wholeheartedly? To answer the question, we must respond to the command... "If you love me, you will obey what I command." John 14:15. True Love is complete obedience ... half obedience is no obedience. If you love Jesus, you will obey what He commands. This is true love and true worship.

To be in the will of God is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of the heart.
- Oswald Chambers

The more I read, the less I admire modern theology. The more I study the writings of the new school of theological teachers, the more I marvel that men and women can be satisfied with such writings. There is a vagueness, a mistiness, a shallowness, an indistinctness, a superficiality, an aimlessness and a hollowness about all the literature of the 'broader and kinder systems', as they are called, which to my mind, stamps their origin on their face. They are of the earth, earthly.
- J. C. Ryle

I'm not about to put on a silly skit and preach a 15-minute message on "How to Cope" to a multitude of people who are dying and going to hell. I tremble at the thought.
- David Wilkerson

If you are a stranger to prayer, then you are a stranger to God's power.
- Billy Sunday

Satan dreads nothing but prayer. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil and mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.
- Samuel Chadwick

The devil is not fighting churches today--he's joining them.
- Vance Havner

We want more men and women who walk with God and walk before God, like Enoch and Abraham.
- J. C. Ryle

I must honestly declare my conviction that, since the days of the Reformation, there has never been so much profession of religion without practice, so much talking about God without walking with God, or so much hearing God's words without obeying them.
- J. C. Ryle

To be in God's will is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart; it's motto is "My Father can do what He likes with me--He may bless me abundantly or give me a bitter cup, but I delight to do His will."
- Oswald Chambers

In the Scriptures, there is a portrait of God, but in Christ there is God Himself. A coin bears the image of Caesar, but Caesar's son is his own lively resemblance. Christ is the living Bible.
- Thomas Manton

We shall have eternity in which to celebrate our victories, but we only have one swift hour before sunset to win them.

Read the Diary and Life of Andrew Bonar--it will be a spiritual feast and refreshing for any Christian, especially for preachers. Bonar's life and writings breathe the atmosphere of heaven.

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

True repentance includes sorrow for sin and contrition of heart. It breaks the heart with sighs and sobs and groans.
-Thomas Brooks

Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.

The more we pay for any truth, the better is our bargain.
- William Law

Prayer is the highest activity of the human soul, and therefore it is at the same time the ultimate test of a man's true spiritual condition. Everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer.
- Martyn Lloyd-Jones

I have only one candle of life to burn and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light.
- John Falconer

We are not to be moved by what we see or by what we feel, but rather are to be moved only by the truth.
- Anonymous

If the Lord tarries, there may yet be a grass-roots awakening that will overflow all sectarian barriers. There are a host of good people who long for a visitation from heaven in old-time power. The kindling wood is scattered all around in all the churches. May God help us to rake off the ashes, uncover the live coals, and may He blow upon us with the breath of His Spirit.
- Vance Havner

I would say without any hesitation that the most urgent need in the Christian church today is true preaching.
- D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

When a preacher is called from God, his sermon will be like a baptism of truth.
- Howard Spring

The evangelist who preaches for eternity is never big on numbers. He will not be able to count hundreds of converts where there is no restitution and no real confession of sin.
- E. M. Bounds

When the gospel was preached in the first ages of the church, it was revealed to the hearts and consciences of sinner with great power and they did not put off their repentance even for one day.
- Thomas Reade

No one can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.
- C. H. Spurgeon

A boy in the streets, selling mince pies, kept crying, "Hot mince pies!" A person bought one and found it quite cold. "Boy", he said, "why do you call these pies hot?" "That's the name they go by, sir," said the boy. So there are plenty of people who are called Christians, but they are not Christians--that's simply the name they go by.
- C. H. Spurgeon

I couldn't say that my church is alive, but I wouldn't want to call it dead. I guess it's just walking in its sleep.

The only crown Jesus ever wore on earth was a crown of thorns.
- Elisabeth Elliot

I have prayed for new men, fiery reckless men, possessed of uncontrollable passions lit by the Spirit of God. I have prayed for new words which are explosive, direct, and simple. I have prayed for new miracles. Explaining old miracles will not do. If God is to be known as the God who does wonders in heaven and earth, then God must produce for this generation. Lord, fill preachers and preaching with Thy power. How long dare we go on without tears, without moral passions, and hatred and love? Not long, I pray, Lord Jesus, not long.
- Jim Elliot

A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.
- A.W. Tozer

Are not our prayers so often ineffective, powerless and sometimes even prayerlessbecause we rush unthinkingly and unpreparedly into God's presence, without realizing the majesty and glory of the God whom we are approaching? We must think magnificently of God.
