When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city.

The time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them. . . . Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently. . . . Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it - and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they Christians take in politics.

If the presence of God is in the church, the church will draw the world in. If the presence of God is not in the church, the world will draw the church out.

Why will God's creatures sin against his throne? Can there be such madness in beings gifted with reason's light?

A revival of religion presupposes a declension.

A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.

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 will to God in deep humility.
