The average Christian is so cold and contented with his wretched condition that there is no vacuum of desire into which the blessed Spirit can rush in satisfying fullness." -A.W. Tozer
"No man is ever fully accepted until he has, first of all, been utterly rejected." -Author unknown
"The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by theoperation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual." -A.W.Tozer
"What pains do children take to scrape and roll the snow together to make a snowman. But soon after it is done, the heat of the sun dissolves it, and it comes to nothing.The greatest treasures of worldly people arebut snowmen! When death and judgment come, they melt away, and come to nothing! 'The world with its lust is passing away.' -1 John 2:17" Matthew Meade, "The Almost Christian".
"We stink more of the world than we stink of of sack cloth and ashes. A lot of contemporary churches today would feel more at home in a movie house rather than in a house of prayer, more afraid of holy living than of sinning, know more about money than magnifying Christ in our bodies. It is so compromised that holiness and living a sin-free life is heresy to the modern church. The modern church is, quite simply, just the world with a Christian T-shirt on!" -N. Cruz"
Despite the atrociousness of it, Satan really does have "little cause to fear most preaching." Most preaching in the modern church is completely devoid of unction. Pastors are too busy playing golf or racquetball to bother spending time on their knees. No wonder some pastors I've heard can more readily quote Dr. Laura then bible passages pertaining to prayer. It's disastrous. Satan need not fear under those conditions." -A. Reavis
"After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone, and children sift through all we've left behind; May the clues that they discover, become the light that leads them to the road we each must find." -Sung by Steve Green, " Find US Faithful"
" The Lord has shown me that I can do anything, but that He has said, apart from Me ye can do nothing." "So it comes to this, that everything I have done, and can still do apart from Him is nothing!" -Watchman Nee
"How do we worship our God Wholeheartedly? To answer the question we must respond to the command... "If you love me, you will obey what I command." John 14:15. True Love is complete obedience ... half obedience is no obedience. If you love Jesus, you will obey what He commands. This is true love and true worship." -Unknown
"A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God." -Leonard Ravenhill"Resolved: that all men should live for the glory of God. Resolved second: That whether others do or not, I will." - Jonathan Edwards
"The Spirit clothed himself, He makes the record say, With Gideon, so he became As nothing in the fray, But just a suit of working clothes The Spirit wore that day." Unknown
"Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle." -C. T. Studd
