It is God alone who can subdue and govern the unruly wills of sinful men.
George Whitefield
Numberless marks does man bear in his soul, that he is fallen and estranged from God but nothing gives a greater proof thereof, than that backwardness, which every one finds within himself, to the duty of praise and thanksgiving.
George Whitefield
Let my name die everywhere, let even my friends forget me, if by that means the cause of the blessed Jesus may be promoted
George Whitefield
Although believers by nature are far from God, and children of wrath, even as others, yet it is amazing to think how nigh they are brought to him again by the blood of Jesus Christ.
George Whitefield
God, give me a deep humility, a well-guided zeal, a burning love and a single eye, and then let men or devils do their worst!

Would ministers preach for eternity! They would then act the part of true Christian orators, and not only calmly and cooly inform the understanding, but, by persuasive, pathetic address, endeavour to move the affections and warm the heart.
George Whitefield
People want to recommend themselves to God by their sincerity they think, 'If we do all we can, if we are but sincere, Jesus Christ will have mercy on us.' But pray what is there in our sincerity to recommend us to God? ... therefore, if you depend on your sincerity for your salvation, your sincerity will damn you.
George Whitefield
Thus was the King and the Lord of glory judged by man's judgment, when manifest in flesh: far be it from any of his ministers to expect better treatment.
George Whitefield
You need not fear the greatness or number of your sins.
George Whitefield
And now let me address all of you, high and low, rich and poor, one with another, to accept of mercy and grace while it is offered to you Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation and will you not accept it, now it is offered unto you?
George Whitefield
Take care of your life and the Lord will take care of your death.
George Whitefield
Indeed, I have been listed under Jesus' banner only for a few years, but I have enjoyed more solid pleasure in one moment's communion with my God than I should or could have enjoyed in the ways of sin, though I had continued to have gone on in them for thousands of years.
George Whitefield
I was honored today with having a few stones, dirt, rotten eggs, and pieces of dead cat thrown at me
George Whitefield
I say salvation is the free gift of God. It is God's free grace, I preach unto you, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Jesus Christ justifies the ungodly. Jesus Christ passed by and saw you polluted with your blood and bid you live.
George Whitefield
