I want to so live that God doesn't have to have to give me one minute's

If I don't believe the Word of God, why should you believe it? If we don't believe it, why should the world believe us?

Image
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.

If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.

The tragedy in our colleges and seminaries right now is that we turn men out who know the word of God. That is never going to turn the world. The question is not whether they know the Word of God.... The question is......Do they know the God of the Word?

I've got The Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and 2/3 of the angels. What do you think I'm going to do? Sit down and cry?

Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known.

You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.

When you’re sitting in a dark room, you can either sit and curse the darkness—or you can light a candle.

When God-given, heaven-sent revival does come, it will undo in weeks the damage that blasphemous Modernism has taken years to build.

Love is blind. Marriage is an eye-opener.

The most shattering thought I've ever had is my personal accountability to God one day

The church as we know it today seems a million miles from the New Testament church. That may be a great generalization, but I will stand on it. There is a gulf between our average Christianity and the church of New Testament that makes the Grand Canyon look like a cavity in someone's tooth.

The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
