Some Good Quotes to Ponder

As we prepare our hearts for our Sunday worship services tomorrow, I thought some of these quotes would be beneficial:

'If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every
portion of the Word of God except precisely that little point which
the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not
confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Him. Where
the battle rages there the loyalty of the soldier is proved and to be
steady on all the battle front besides, is mere flight and disgrace
if he flinches at that point.' - Martin Luther

"If you don't plan to live the Christian life totally committed to
knowing your God and to walking in obedience to Him, then don't
begin; for this is what Christianity is all about. It is a change of
citizenship, a change of governments, a change of allegience. If
you have no intention of letting Christ rule your life, then forget
Christianity; it's not for you." - K. Arthur

"Our murmuring is the devil's music." - Thomas Watson

"Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die; another's
life, another's death, I stake my whole eternity." - Horatius Bonar

"Preach abroad! It is the cooping yourselves up in rooms that has
dampened the work of God, which never was and never will be
carried out to any purpose without going into the highways and
hedges and compelling men and women to come in."
- Jonathan Edwards.

"No sort of defense is needed for preaching outdoors, but it would
take a very strong argument to prove that a man who has never
preached beyond the walls of his meetinghouse has done his duty.
A defense is required for services within buildings rather than for
worship outside of them." - William Booth

"The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of
the Church...grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved
at the prayerlessness in the Church. He is disturbed that the
corporate prayer of the Church no longer pulls down the strongholds
of the devil." - Leonard Ravenhill

"One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful
organization do no constitute a church any more than eleven dead
men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always."
- A. W. Tozer

"It is God's way to let ministers try all their strength first, and
then He Himself comes and subdues the hearts they cannot."
- Jonathan Edwards

"A man full of hope will be full of action." - Thomas Brooks

"We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so."
- J.C. Ryle

"Finney preached, and sometimes the whole congregation would
get up and leave! That's good preaching." - Leonard Ravenhill
