"There's only one proof of the Holy Ghost in your life and that's a holy life." - Leonard Ravenhill
The place where God has put the wife is the husband's home. Most people have forgotten nowadays what a home can mean - it is a kingdom of its own in the midst of the world; a stronghold amid life's storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary. It is not founded on the shifting sands of outward or public life, but it has its resting place in God, for God gives it its special meaning and value, its own nature and privilege, its own destiny and dignity. It is an ordinance of God in the world, the place in which - whatever may happen in the world - peace, quietness, joy, love, purity, discipline, respect, obedience, tradition, and with it all happiness may dwell. It is the wife's calling, and her happiness, to build up for her husband, this world within the world, and to do her life's work there. How happy she is if she realises how great and rich a task and destiny she has. - Dietrich Boenhoffer
“Is there any other way to come to the joy-filled life that we all long for except by dying?” - Basilea Schlink
“Whole denominations, ministries and churches bow to the Baals of productivity and power. We want bigger buildings, bigger budgets and bigger badges – all for the kingdom of course.” -David Orton
"What began as a movement in Jerusalem became a philosophy in Greece, an empire in Rome, a culture in England and an enterprise in America."
--anonymous
"Give me a love that leads the way, a faith which nothing can dismay!" Amy Carmichael
"A hundred thousand souls a day
are passing one by one away
in christless guilt and gloom
O Church of Christ, what wilt thou say,
When in that awful judgment day
They charge thee with their doom?"
-A.B. Simpson
"Am I ignitable? God deliver me from the dread asbestos of "other things." Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be a flame. But flame is transient, often short-lived. Canst thou bear this, my soul--short life? In me there dwells the Spirit of the Great Short-Lived, whose zeal for God's house consumed Him. Make me thy fuel, Flame of God." Jim Elliot
"All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on God being with them." Hudson Taylor
“Our culture, society, government, and law are in the conditions they are in, not because of a conspiracy, but because the church has forsaken its duty to be the salt of the culture.” (Francis Schaeffer)
“The devil is a liar. Even when he tells the truth. Never believe what the devil says. (Brother Andrew)
“If you wish to know God, you must know His Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by His Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.” (Charles Spurgeon)
"What a word, what a thought, is ETERNITY! What prospects does it set before us! What inconceivable mysteries are involved in it! How does it make the things of time dwindle into insignificance! What questions of unspeakable importance, are involved in it!" Legh Richmond

When any child of God decides to step out in absolute obedience to the will of God, there will be a frantic effort by the powers of darkness to block him. ~ Isobel Kuhn
"It is impossible for any rational creature to be happy without acting all for God. God Himself could not make him happy any other way... There is nothing in the world worth living for but doing good and finishing God's work, doing the work that Christ did. I see nothing else in the world that can yield any satisfaction besides living to God, pleasing Him, and doing his whole will." David Brainerd
You can ask a person if he wants to go to heaven, thats not the question; everybody wants to go to heaven, they just don't want God to be there when they get there. (PAUL WASHER ).
“Unless the Church senses her Divine resources—unseen, untapped, unlimited,--she is tempted to resort to any means,--fair, fleshly, or foul, -- to command attention. We need to remember that heresy of method can be as deadly as heresy of message.” L. E. Maxwell
"A true disciple is one that doth follow Him (Christ) in duty, and shall follow Him to glory." Matthew Henry
"This is a life of faith, for God will try the truth of our faith, so that the world may see that God has such servants as will depend upon His bare word." Richard Sibbes
"The only real life is to live in the light of eternity--to use all we possess for the promotion of God's glory and with an eye to the everlasting mansions. This, and only this is life in earnest." C. H. Mackintosh
