More quotes by Charles Grandison Finney
Every member must work or quit. No honorary members.
Charles Grandison Finney
It is the great business of every Christian to save souls.
Charles Grandison Finney
In nearly all cases, if the people complain of the length of our sermons it is because we fail to interest them personally in what we have to say.
Charles Grandison Finney
Revival comes from heaven when heroic souls enter the conflict determined to win or die - or if need be, to win and die! The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Charles Grandison Finney

Charles Grandison Finney
Unless the will is free, man has no freedom and if he has no freedom he is not a moral agent, that is, he is incapable of moral action and also of moral character.
Charles Grandison Finney
When there is no offense I make no defense.
Charles Grandison Finney
No government is lawful or innocent that does not recognize the moral law as the only universal law, and God as the Supreme Lawgiver and Judge, to whom nations in their national capacity, as well as individuals, are amenable.
Charles Grandison Finney
A revival of religion presupposes a declension.
Charles Grandison Finney
A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.
Charles Grandison Finney
Understand now what lying is. Any species of designed deception. If the deception is not designed it is not lying. But if you design to make an impression contrary to the naked truth, you lie.
Charles Grandison Finney
It is a mournful fact that most men, and indeed all men of worldly character, have so much regard to public opinion that they dare not act according to the dictates of their consciences when acting thus would incur the popular frown.
Charles Grandison Finney
The end for which Christ lives, and for which He has left His church in the world, is the salvation of sinners.
Charles Grandison Finney
Often, without being at all aware of it, men judge themselves, not by God's rule, but by their own.
Charles Grandison Finney
Unless I had the spirit of prayer, I could do nothing.
Charles Grandison Finney
If the presence of God is in the church, the church will draw the world in. If the presence of God is not in the church, the world will draw the church out.
Charles Grandison Finney
Ministers often preach about the Gospel instead of preaching the Gospel. They often preach about sinners instead of preaching to them.
Charles Grandison Finney
There can be no higher enjoyment found in this world that is found in pulling souls out of the fire and bringing them to Christ.
Charles Grandison Finney
There can be no revival when Mr. Amen and Mr. Wet-Eyes are not found in the audience.
Charles Grandison Finney
Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one's will to God in deep humility.
