The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world.
- A.W.Tozer

Men study to profit in this world, but won't study under prophets who tell them to flee the world.

-G.A. Jarquin

"Cares of the world are imposed and afflict those who are saints. The world attempts to toss it's cares upon you so that you care for it, but it is not like our relationship with God, who really cares for us; instead the world, when caroused and cared for, will respond with cold murderous hands in a attempt to choke the life of God out of you."

-G.A. Jarquin

"Opportunity once passed is lost forever.There is a time when the tide is sweeping by our door.We may then plunge in and be carried to glorious blessing, success and victory.To stand shivering on the bank, timid or paralyzed with stupor, at such a time, is to miss all, and most miserably fail, both for time and eternity..."
-Frank Bartleman-June 1906

"If heaven is real we should live like it, this will produce "Pentecost."
-Frank Bartleman

"He who seeks to make footprints and do sublime things is a failure."

"A self-conscious poser is a loser."

"A fisher for complaints has lost God."

"Self consciousness must go."

"We are too conscious of the other fellow,we need a God consciousness."

"The deepest repentance and humility and our own frailty and weakness must be realized before we can know God's strength."

"God has always sought a humble people.He can use no other...There is always much need of heart preperation,in humility and seperation, before God can consistently come.The depth of any revival will be determined exactly by the spirit of repentance that is obtained.In fact this is key to every true revival born of God."

"...Brother, sister, if we all believed God, can you realize what would happen? Many of us here are living for nothing else."

"Men's hearts are being searched...it is a tremendous sifting time,not only of actions but of inner motives. Nothing can escape the all-searching eye of God."

-Frank Bartleman (Azusa Street Revival)

While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up
a solid round stone from the water and broke it open. It was
perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed
in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the
Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by
Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its
benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do
not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's
hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and
intellectualism.
... Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889-1929)
