Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's.

If you want to be holy then you must give time to God and not just intend to.

After my study of today's church, my conclusion is that the church is politely bored with God.

The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.

Most Christians are satisfied living as common Christians, without an insatiable hunger for the deeper things of God.

What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends

We know how God would act if he were in our place - he has been in our place.
