Open your hearts as wide as ever you will, the Spirit of the Lord shall fill them.

Ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross.
George Whitefield
Image
Jesus was God and man in one person, that God and man might be happy together again.
George Whitefield
Image
If we are not inwardly wrought upon, and changed by the powerful operations of the Holy Spirit, and our moral actions proceed from a principle of a new nature, however we may call ourselves Christians, we shall be found naked at the great day.
George Whitefield
Image
Believers keep up and maintain their walk with God by secret prayer. The spirit of grace is always accompanied with the spirit of supplication. It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.

I would rather wear out than rust out.
George Whitefield
Image
It is an undoubted truth that every doctrine that comes from God, leads to God and that which doth not tend to promote holiness is not of God.

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
Image
All I can say is I look for perpetual conflicts and struggles in this life, and I hope for no other peace, only a cross, while on this side of eternity.

Come poor, lost, undone sinner, come just as you are to Christ.

True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness.
George Whitefield
Image
Pray that I may be very little in my own eyes, and not rob my dear Master of any part of his glory.
George Whitefield
Image
This discourse, and the present frame of my mind, lead me rather to speak to those, who by feeling Satan's fiery darts, know assuredly that there is a devil.
George Whitefield
Image
There are many likewise, who go on in a round of duties, a model of performances, that think they shall go to heaven but if you examine them, though they have a Christ in their heads, they have no Christ in their hearts.
George Whitefield
Image
We can preach the Gospel of Christ no further than we have experienced the power of it in our own hearts
George Whitefield
Image
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
Image
The riches of His free grace cause me daily to triumph over all the temptations of the wicked one, who is very vigilant, and seeks all occasions to disturb me.
George Whitefield
Image
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.

Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him.

God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.
