"I know men, and I tell you that Jesus is not a man. The religion of
Christ is a mystery which subsists by its own force, and proceeds
from a mind which is not a human mind. We find in it a marked
individuality, which originated a train of words and actions unknown
before. Jesus is not a philosopher, for His proofs are miracles, and
from the first His disciples adored Him. Alexander, Caesar,
Charlemagne and myself founded empires; but on what foundation
did we rest the creatures of our genius? Upon force. But Jesus
Christ founded an empire upon love; and at this hour millions of
men would die for Him. I die before my time, and my body will be
given back to the earth to become food for worms. Such is the fate
of him who has been called the great Napoleon. What an abyss
between my deep misery and the eternal kingdom of Christ, which
is proclaimed, loved, adored, and is still existing over the whole
earth!" Then, turning to Gen. Bertrand, the emperor added: "If you
do not perceive that Jesus Christ is God, I did wrong in appointing
you a general." - Napoleon Bonaparte

"Prayer can do anything that God can do."
- E.M. Bounds

"Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by
an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one's

"What I have seen in the past 10 years of traveling - performing at a

ministered to. That's hard to understand, but I see a hunger in the
world that I don't see in the church." - Ricky Shaggs (musician)

"Sanctified afflictions are spiritual promotions." - Matthew Henry

"Those who complain that they make no progress in the life of
prayer because they "cannot meditate" should examine, not their
capacity for meditation, but their capacity for suffering and love.
For there is a hard and costly element, a deep seriousness, a
crucial choice, in all genuine religion." - Evelyn Underhill

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose
his life for my sake shall find it."
-- Matthew 16:24,25 (KJV)

"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning
the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope
means hoping when everything seems hopeless."

"Don't try to bring the Word of God down to your level. Let it pull
you up to its level." - David MacDonald
