"The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on

tiptoe." - D. L. Moody

"There is nothing that makes us love a man so much as praying

for him." - William Law

"You shall find this to be God´s usual course: not to give his

children the taste of his delights till they begin to sweat in seeking

after them." - Richard Baxter

The invasion of the Church by the world is a menace to the

extension of Christ's Kingdom. In all ages conformity to the world

by Christians has resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent

lack of spiritual vision and enterprise. A secularized or

self-centered Church can never evangelize the world." - John R. Mott

"The astonishing missionary advance at the close of the

eighteenth century and the onset of the nineteenth was a direct

consequence of the Evangelical Awakening." - A. Skevington Wood

"Oh, for closest communion with God, till soul and body, head,

face, and heart - shine with Divine brilliancy! But oh! for a holy

ignorance of our shining!" - Robert Murray M'Cheyne

"Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and

condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the

deep. Brains can argue, but It takes heart to comfort." -Samuel Chadwick

"How careful we should be lest we misrepresent a real work of

grace because of some things which occasionally may accompany

it! When Whitefield was once preaching in Boston, the place was

so packed that the gallery was thought to be giving way, and there

was a panic in which several persons were trampled to death. But

it would be unfair and unreasonable to blame the revival for this...

We do not despise the great river because of the sticks and

straws that may occasionally float on its surface."

- William Alexander McKay (1890)

"In every revival there is a reemphasis of the Church's missionary

character. Men return to Calvary, and the world is seen afresh

through the eyes of Christ. The infinite compassion of Christ fills

the heart, and the passion evoked by Calvary demands the whole

wide world as the fruit of His sacrifice." - John Shearer
