Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He shows Himself.

If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.

The Church right now has more fashion than passion, is more pathetic than prophetic, is more superficial than supernatural.

I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G. Finney winning his thousands and his hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ. Then I picked up a book and read the messages of Charles G. Finney and the message of Jonathan Edwards on 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,' and I said, 'No wonder men trembled; no wonder they fell in the altars and cried out in repentance and sobbed their way to the throne of grace!'

Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy. The more joy you have in the Lord the less entertainment you need.

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

I doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.
