"It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin." - Oswald Chambers

"The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions." - A.W. Tozer

"An unholy church! it is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell's laughter, heaven's abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church." - C.H. Spurgeon

"Christians don't tell lies - they just go to church and sing them." - A.W. Tozer

"Get rid of this bunkum about the 'carnal Christian'. Forget it! If you're carnal, you're not saved." - Leonard Ravenhill

"The chief danger of the church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, instead of turning the world upside down. Our Master expects us to accomplish results, even if they bring opposition and conflict. Anything is better than compromise, apathy, and paralysis. God give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel of the Holy Ghost!" - AB Simpson

"All God's giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they believed that God would be with them." - Hudson Taylor

"Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things, 'above all that we ask or think.' Each time, before you Intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!" - Andrew Murray

“If some men were sentenced to hear their own sermons, it would be a righteous judgment upon them; but they would soon cry out with Cain, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.” - C.H. Spurgeon

"Controversy for the sake of controversy is sin; controversy for the sake of truth is a Divine command." - Dr. Walter Martin

“There was an old Nazarene preacher who gave a young minister who was just starting out some advice that the young man never forgot: "Son," he said, "I sure like the way you preach the Gospel, and I'd like to give you a little bit of advice." The young minister told him that he would love to hear anything the more experienced man of God might wish to share. And the old preacher looked at him and said, "When you go out, always preach the love of God, and the grace of God, in Jesus Christ. But, if they don't want Jesus, then leave 'em with the Law according to Moses.

Grace, the unmerited favor of God through faith in Christ Jesus, Who perfectly fulfilled that Law, or, the righteous judgment of this same Lord according to the perfect Law of God, which no mere mortal man could ever fulfill. To answer the call to come to Christ is the all, important decision that only you alone can make.” - End Quote

No more love to God is there in an unrenewed heart than there is life within a piece of granite. No more love to God is there within a soul who is unsaved than there is fire within the depths of the ocean's waves; and herein lies the wonder, that when we had no love to God, He should have loved us. - C.H. Spurgeon

I cannot believe in the spirituality of any Christian man who keeps an eye open for the approval of others, whoever they may be. The man after God's own heart must be dead to the opinion of his friends as well as his enemies. He must be willing to cross important persons as obscure ones. He must be ready to rebuke his superior as quickly as quickly as those who may be beneath him on the ecclesiastical ladder. To reprove one man in order to gain the favor of another is no evidence of moral courage. It is done in the world all the time. We'll never be where we should be in our spiritual lives until we are so devoted to Christ that we ask no other approbation than His smile. - A.W. Tozer

People are disturbed and troubled by the real Gospel: under the false gospel they can sleep unto destruction. Bring out the Sword: it is meant to wound; let it exercise its salutary sharpness. The Gospel has two edges so that none may play with it. When they think to run their fingers along the back of it, they will find themselves cut to the bone. Whether we regard its threats or promises it cuts as sin. Let us therefore know that the power of the Church does not lie anywhere but in the Word as Jesus Himself speaks it. - Charles Spurgeon.

Find Jesus where you may, He is the antagonist of those who would lessen the authority of Holy Scripture. "It is written," is His weapon against Satan, His argument against wicked men. The learned at this hour scoff at the Book and accuse of Bibliolatry those of us who reverence the divine Word; but in this they derive no assistance from the teaching or example of Jesus. Not a word derogatory of Scripture ever fell from the lips of Jesus Christ; but evermore He manifested the most reverent regard for every jot and tittle of the inspired Volume. since our Savior, not only His death, but after it, took care thus to commend the Scriptures to us, let us avoid with all our hearts all teaching in which Holy Scripture is put into the background. - C. H. Spurgeon

"There is one great difficulty with a good hypothesis. When it is completed and rounded, the corners smooth and the content cohesive and coherent, it is likely to become a thing in itself, a work of art. It is then like a finished sonnet or a painting completed. One hates to disturb it. Even if subsequent information should shoot a hole in it, one hates to tear it down because it was once beautiful and whole." - John Steinbeck, 'The Log From the Sea of Cortez
