| Re: | | Here lies the tremendous mystery - that God should be all-powerful, yet refuse to coerce. He summons us to cooperation. We are honored in being given the opportunity to participate in his good deeds. Remember how He asked for help in performing his miracles: Fill the water pots, stretch out your hand, distribute the loaves. -Elizabeth Elliot _________________ Tanmaya

Online! | Re: | | "The friends of God are always grieved when they see a church asleep and doing nothing for the salvation of sinners. Those who have other objectives in view may think things are going on very well. They are not grieved when they see professed people of God going after show and folly." - Charles Finney

Online! | Re: | | Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image. -- A. W. Tozer

Online! | Re: | | "In few countries is the failure of Christian humanism more apparent than in Thailand. There, after 150 years of missionaries showing marvelous social compassion, Christians still make up only two percent of the entire population. Self-sacrificing missionaries probably have done more to modernize the country than any other single force. Thailand owes to missionaries its widespread literacy, first printing press, first university, first hospital, first doctor, and almost every other benefit of education and science. In every area, including trade and diplomacy, Christian missionaries put the needs of the host nation first and helped usher in the 20th century. Meanwhile, millions have slipped into eternity without the Lord. They died more educated, better governed, and healthierbut they died without Christ and are bound for Hell." - K.P. Yohannan

Online! | Re: | | If I had my way, I would declare a moratorium on public preaching of the plan of salvation in America for one to two years. Then I would call on everyone who has use of the airways and the pulpits to preach the holiness of God, the righteousness of God and the law of God, until sinners would cry out, What must we do to be saved? Then I would take them off in a corner and whisper the gospel to them. Such drastic action is needed because we have gospel-hardened a generation of sinners by telling them how to be saved before they have any understanding why they need to be saved.

Online! | Re: | | There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
-C.H. Spurgeon

| Re: | | I was reading today from Ravenhill's quotes and I came across one that was so true, just another reason why I don't subscribe to that fairy tale. But that's another topic.

Today's church wants to be raptured from responsibility. Leonard Ravenhill
That spoke volumes. |

Online! | Re: | | The Apostles say: 'We believe we have salvation through the grace of Jesus Christ ....' If I can only teach a person that catechism I have made him a divinity scholar for all time.
