Preaching is God’s great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold; when wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results
– E. M. Bounds
Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God’s work and is powerless to project God’s cause in this world
– E. M. Bounds
A man’s status before God is decided not by the number and enormity of his sins but whether those sins have or have not been forgiven, whether he is on God’s side or the side of the devil
–Dr A W Tozer
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
And when I am dying, how happy I’ll be,
If the lamp of my life has been burned out for Thee.”
– C. T. Studd
“True religion is to have the life of God living within you. It is to have the mind that was in Christ Jesus. It is the peace of God passing all understanding. It is holiness and happiness. If we have not these, then we fall short of true Christianity”
– Charles Wesley
“I am convinced that the dearth of great saints in these times even among those who truly believe in Christ is due at least in part to our unwillingness to give sufficient time to the cultivation of the knowledge of God”
– Dr A. W. Tozer
“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”
– Leonard Ravenhill
“The sands of time are strewn with the wrecks of the broken lives of many who were once mightily used of God, but who suffered shipwreck upon the rocks of spiritual pride.”
– Paul Billheimer
“It makes no difference how we are led, or wither we are led, so long as we are sure God is leading us.”
– Joseph Gilmore
“Light and darkness have no communion; God has divided them, let us not confound them. Sons of light must not have fellowship with deeds, doctrines, or deceits of darkness.”
– Charles Spurgeon
“The deeper the need, and the more the bitter the extremity, the greater the opportunity for God to show forth His mighty power in our lives, if we but give Him a chance by unswerving obedience at any cost.”
– Rosalind Goforth
“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”
– John Piper
“It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Holy Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be. ”
– Dr A. W. Tozer
