"We're so far removed from God's way of doing things- we think a man is a good man if he can draw a crowd these days. Do you know what Finney did? Finney preached sometimes, and the whole congregation got up and walked out on him. That's a good meeting! He sent them out horrified! I only preach for two reasons these days: either to send people out that door blazing mad at me or blazing with the peace of the Holy Ghost! That's all!"
- Leonard Ravenhill.
"If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tell you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life."

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried."

"If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at God you'll be at rest."
- Corrie Ten Boom
"I do not understand Christian people who are not thrilled by the whole idea of revival. . . . If you want a perfect exposition of 1 Corinthians 1:25-31, read books on revival."

"Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart."
- Corrie Ten Boom
"Light means nothing to a blind man."
- A.W. Tozer
"Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more sermons into the fire."
- Vance Havner
"We will not be ready for the challenge of this hour until there is genuine repentance and conversion in our churches... Christians tend to divorce doctrine and practice. Some put all the emphasis on orthodoxy, with very little day-by-day living to match. Others major in experience, with little basis in Biblical teaching. One is
body without spirit, and the other is spirit without body. Christianity is neither a corpse nor a ghost."
- Vance Havner
