“The most sensational thing I can imagine would be an outbreak of New Testament Christianity.”

“Revival isn’t a lot of hooping and hollering and folks joining the church, it’s a new decision to get right with God and with people.”

“You may belittle experience and speak of the dangers of emotion, but we are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering, not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.”

“The Spirit blows where He will, and God is not bound to grand ideas.
The great Welsh revival was accomplished without preaching, without
choirs, without hymn books, without organs, without publicity, and
without offerings. These things are not evil, but God can do wonders
without what we think He must have.”

“Whoever assumes that man is kindly disposed toward God, and that if God’s love be presented and the winsomeness of Christ be preached, men will fall over each other rushing down church aisles to be saved, is in for a big surprise. The facts simply do not bear that out. God’s Word does not teach it. It is not true to history or experience. Jesus Christ lived among us in all His winsomeness and we spat upon Him, crowned Him with thorns, crucified Him on a tree. And we would do it again. He said the world hated Him and that it would hate us. And the reason it does not hate us Christians more is not because the world today is more like Christ but because we Christians are so unlike Him.”

God has given each of us the ability to make good choices. When the Holy Spirit comes to live inside a person, He guides us from the inside and we can make good decisions! He leads, and then we can respond to Him. Many things we find hard, or impossible, to do in our own strength we can do in the power of the Spirit! We can say “no” to sin and “yes” to righteousness.

It’s up to us.
