"One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organization do
no constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team.
The first requisite is life, always."
- A. W. Tozer
"Don't plan
without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we
have made, when we have not taken Him into account."
- Oswald
Chambers
"Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed
by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one's
will to God in deep humility."
- Charles Finney
"Our murmuring is
the devil's music."
- Thomas Watson
"Preach abroad....It is the cooping
yourselves up in rooms that has dampened the work of God, which never was and
never will be carried out to any purpose without going into the highways and
hedges and compelling men and women to come in."
- Jonathan
Edwards
"No sort of defense is needed for preaching outdoors, but it
would take a very strong argument to prove that a man who has never
preached beyond the walls of his meetinghouse has done his duty. A defense
is required for services within buildings rather than for worship
outside of them."
- William Booth
"A man full of hope will be full
of action."
- Thomas Brooks
"What I have seen in the past 10 years of
travelling - performing at a church one day and a casino the next - is that a
lot of people in the church want to be entertained, and people in casinos
want to be ministered to. That's hard to understand, but I see a hunger in
the world that I don't see in the church."
- Ricky Skaggs (musician)
