Quote

The most critical need of the church at this moment is men, bold men, free men. The church must seek, in prayer and much humility, the coming again of men made of the stuff of which prophets and martyrs are made.

People have faith in 'faith' and largely forget that our confidence is not in the power of faith but in the Person and work of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

Image
Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.

The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.

Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.

God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. The man who would know God must give time to Him.

We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.

We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not

When the Spirit illuminates the heart, then a part of the man sees which never saw before a part of him knows which never knew before, and that with a kind of knowing which the most acute thinker cannot imitate.

God loves us for ourselves. He values our love more than he values galaxies of new created worlds.

May God keep fresh the fountain of our laughter and our tears!

The poor quality of Christian that grows out of our modern evangelistic meeting may be accounted for by the absence of real repentance accompanying the initial spiritual experience of the converts. And the absence of repentance is the result of an inadequate view of sin and sinfulness held by those who present themselves in the inquiry room.

Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.

He fills heaven and earth as the ocean fills the bucket that is submerged in it, and as the ocean surrounds the bucket so does God in the universe He fills. The heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee. God is not contained: He contains.

Without worship, we go about miserable.

God sees us perfect in His Son while He disciplines and chastens and purges us that we may be partakers of His holiness.

One of the most popular current errors, and the one out of which springs most of the noisy, blustering religious activity in evangelical circles, is the notion that as times change the church must change with them.

Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh....Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.

Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.
