Any true revival can be proven by the fact that it changed the moral climate of an area or nation.

Image
Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.

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

Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.

The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.

What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.

Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.

If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.

This silly world outside thinks it is finished with Jesus Christ but they haven't even started with Him yet.

The most fervent prayer meetings are in hell.

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

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.

You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.

The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete.

The question isn't were you challenged. The question is were you changed?

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

Are you wiser in God (now) than you were last year at this time? Peter says we're to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
