More Great Christian Quotes

"It does not appear that these extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost were common in the Church for more than two or three centuries. We seldom hear of them after that fatal period when the Emperor Constantine called himself a Christian;...From this time they almost totally ceased;...The Christians had no more of the Spirit of Christ than the other heathens....This was the real cause why the extraordinary fits of the Holy Ghost were no longer to be found in the Christian Church; because the Christians were turned Heathens again, and had only a dead form left."
- John Wesley

"When the Lord's sheep are a dirty grey, all black sheep are more comfortable."

- Vance Havner


"God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the IMPOSSIBLE."
- William Booth.

"Apostolic preaching is not marked by its beautiful diction, or literary polish, or Cleverness of expression, but Operates 'in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.'"

- Arthur Wallis


"I hope some of you will agree with me that it is of far greater importance that we have better Christians than that we have more of them! If we have any spiritual concerns, our most pressing obligation is to do all in our power to obtain a revival that will result in a reformed, revitalized, purified church... followers of Christ must become personally and vitally involved in the death and resurrection of Christ. And this requires repentance, prayer, watchfulness, self-denial, detachment from the world, humility, obedience and cross-carrying.."
- A.W. Tozer
