[b]“In answer to your inquiry, I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.”[/b] - William Booth (Written over 100 years ago)

“While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight, I'll fight to the very end!” - William Booth

“I must assert in the most unqualified way that it is primarily and mainly for the sake of saving the soul that I seek the salvation of the body.” William Booth

“But what is the use of preaching the Gospel to men whose whole attention is concentrated upon a mad, desperate struggle to keep themselves alive?” William Booth

"It is impossible to comfort men's hearts with the love of God when their feet are perishing with cold." William Booth

“The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.” William Booth

"Look! Don’t be deceived by appearances- men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!" William Booth

"It is time for the church to consecrate her mind and her whole heart to this subject(winning souls). It is indeed time that she should lay these great truths in all their burning power close to her heart. Alas, how is her soul palsied with the spirit of the world! Nothing can save her and restore her to spiritual life until she brings her mind and heart into burning contact with these living, energising truths of eternity. The church of our times needs the apostolic spirit. She needs so deep a baptism with those fires of the Holy Ghost that she can go out and set the world on fire by her zeal for the souls of men. Till then the generation of our race must go on, thronging the broad way to hell because no man cares for their souls."

-Charles G. Finney

“God give me a deep humility, a well-guided zeal, a burning love and a single eye - and then let men or devils do their worst.”
-George Whitefield

The Savior is not looking for men and women who will give their spare evenings to Him - or their years of retirement. Rather, He seeks those who will give Him first place in their lives.
- William MacDonald

He looks today, as He has ever looked, not for crowds drifting aimlessly in His track, but for individual men and women whose undying allegiance will spring from their having recognized that He wants those who are prepared to follow the path of self-renunciation which He trod before them.
- H. A. Evan Hopkin

“Your life is like a coin, you can spend it any way you wish, but you can spend it only once.”
-unknown

"Father, let me be weak that I might loose my clutch on everything temporal. My life, my reputation, my possessions, Lord, let me loose the tension of the grasping hand. How often I have released a grasp only to retain what I prized by "harmless" longing... Rather, open my hand to receive the nail of Calvary, as Christ's was opened - that I, releasing all, might be released, unleashed from all that binds me now. He thought Heaven, yea, equality with God, not a thing to be clutched at. So let me release my grasp."
-Jim Elliot

'He makes His ministers a flame of fire.' Am I ignitible? 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, a short life? In me dwells the spirit of the great short-lived, whose zeal for God's house consumed him, and he has promised baptism with spirit and with fire. 'make me thy fuel flame of God.'"
-Jim Elliot

"God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life, that I may burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like You, Lord Jesus."
-Jim Elliot
