Faith is a life that dares to commit beyond it's means, expecting what sense cannot certify, based on God's promise, dependent on God's supply, motivated for God's glory, and confident in God's integrity.

Dr Kenneth Connolly

If your Christianity will not get you to church, it should not be relied on to get you to heaven.

John S. Waldrip

Courage…is the indispensable requisite of any true ministry…. Courage is good everywhere, but it is necessary here. If you are afraid of men and a slave to their opinion, go and do something else. Go and make shoes to fit them…. But do not keep on all your life preaching sermons which shall say not what God sent you to declare, but what they hire you to say.

Philips Brooks

To think Planned Parenthood primarily exists for other reasons and services [than murdering the unborn] is akin to believing that brothels exist to give men ample opportunities to engage in conversation.

Tony Lee

We don't know a millionth of 1 percent about anything.

Thomas Edison

The Word of God is a heart affecting book, and when we begin to sing its praises it soon comes home to us, and sets us praying to be ourselves conformed to its teachings.

Charles H. Spurgeon

There are four things which, unless we are well instructed in and know, we will know nothing to any purpose. The things which we must know are God, sin, Christ, and eternity. These are the four great things that you need to be well-instructed in.

Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646)

God looks not at the oratory of your prayers, how elegant they may be; nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they be; nor at the arithmetic of your prayers, how many they be; nor at the logic of your prayers, how methodical they be; but at the sincerity of them He looks at.

Thomas Brooks

Sin is the only object of the hatred of God; nothing is the object of God's hatred but sin.

Richard Steele

He that finds it easy to repent will not find it hard to sin.

Richard Steele

Revival is the SOVEREIGN, SUDDEN, SELECTIVE AND SENSATIONAL operation of the Spirit of God. It descends amid PRAYER, creating PURITY and reaching the PERISHING.

Kenneth Connolly

Never, until sin is seen and sorrowed for as the greatest evil, will Christ be seen and rejoiced in as the greatest Good.

John Yates

Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for Him, and lay Christ's part on Himself, and leave it there; duties are ours, events are the Lord's.

Samuel Rutherford

Stupidity passing for boldness is no excuse for cowardice passing for piety.

John S. Waldrip

Tragically, little passes for "worship" in our day is worthy of a King Who is "pavilioned in splendor," or "Whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form." Rather, it is more the worship of a casual friend, a school chum, or a teammate.

Don Kistler

Providence is an act of God, whereby, according to His eternal and most wise counsel, He preserves and governs all things, and directs them all to their ends, but chiefly to His own glory.

Ezekiel Hopkins

God speaks with sinners through His messengers. They come for God's purpose, and their words, counsels, exhortations, and reproofs are His. When sinners reject the words which God's ministers bring in His name, they are actually striving with the Spirit. they are wrestling with Christ as if He were present.

William Gurnall

Revival is the sovereign, sudden, selective, sensational operation of the Spirit of God. It descends amid prayer, produces purity, and reaches the perishing.

Ken Connolly (June 19, 1927-October 28, 2005)

They that expect to enjoy what God promises will be sure to perform what God commands; and even now will experience a soul-ravishing joy. If the Lord is our trust and strength, He will surely be our joy and song.

Thomas Lye

The advance of the church is ever preceded by a recovery of preaching.

Iain H. Murray

All spiritual miseries may be attributed to either a war between a man and his conscience, or a war between his affections and his condition.

Thomas Manton

They that have never prayed before, will pray in affliction.

Thomas Case

There never was found, in any age of the world, either religion or law that did so highly exalt the public good as the Bible.

Sir Francis Bacon

Cheap grace means grace as a doctrine, a principle, a system . . . no contrition is required, still less any real desire to be delivered from sin. . . . Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Unbelievers seek their happiness in things of the world. Believers find their happiness in God. It is contrary to the nature of faith for a believer to seek peace in his earthly enjoyments.

Richard Baxter
