Spurgeon

Sorry if that reponse was too simplistic.. it just comes to a point of surrender that God brings us to that we can truly surrender all! "absolute surrender", resignation of our wills to God's.
Suppose the cross is quite simple, maybe it just seems to much like a dirty piece of wood and not the royal garment of submission.Thanks Greg..kiss,kiss :-D p.s. thats both cheeks and I'm not Judas.

You have more of the goods of this world than is needful either for yourself or your family. Let each consider for himself. Do your riches increase? Do not you understand that plain expression? Have you not more money, or more of money's worth, than you had ten or twenty years ago, or at this time last year?” John Wesley

"God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume . . . it is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever."-Vance Havner
The only fear I have is to fear to get out of the will of God. Outside of the will of God, there's nothing I want, and in the will of God there's nothing I fear, for God has sworn to keep me in His will. If I'm out of his will that's another matter. But if I'm in His will, He's sworn to keep me." A. W. Tozer - Success and the Christian, 80
Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle. C. T. Studd
Craving clarity, we attempt to eliminate the risk of trusting God.Brennan Manning
"The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you’ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blind world doesn’t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn’t think much about it now."-Leonard Ravenhill
Lastly--are not the Church in their present state, a standing, public, perpetual denial of the gospel? Do they not stand out before the world, as a living, unanswerable contradiction of the gospel; and do more to harden sinners and lead them into a spirit of caviling and infidelity, than all the efforts of professed infidels from the beginning of the world to the present day? Charles Finney
"The church’s concern for and identification with the poor are sure signs of its faithfulness to the Kingdom and are often signs of fundamental renewal."-Howard A. Synder
"The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose."-C.S. Lewis
"I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power…Destitute of the Fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing Fire, nothing else matters."-Samuel Chadwick
"God uses people. God uses people to perform His work. He does not send angels. Angels weep over it, but God does not use angels to accomplish His purposes. He uses burdened broken-hearted weeping men and women."-David Wilkerson
Said Dr. N. Murray: "Prayer is the power of the Church; and could I speak as loud as the trumpet which is to wake the dead, I would thus call upon the Church, in all branches and in all lands: 'Awake! awake! put on thy strength, 0 Zion! put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem! Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.' Patriarchs, prophets, apostles. martyrs, reformers, were mighty in prayer.
"Keep me. Lord, from faintingIn this fierce fight,When the foe is rising,Clothe me with Thy might."-Evan Roberts
"Great truths that are stumbling blocks to the natural man are nevertheless the very foundations upon which the confidence of the spiritual man is built." Harry B. Ironside
Quotes by Malolm Muggeridge:People do not believe lies because they have to, but because they want to. I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus."Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experience that at the time seemed especially desolating and painful with particular satisfaction. Indeed, I can say with complete truthfulness that everything I have learned in my seventy-five years in this world, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my experience, has been through affliction and not through happiness, whether pursued or attained. In other words, if it were ever possible to eliminate affliction from our earthly existence by means of some drug or other medical mumbo jumbo...the result would make it too banal and trivial to be endurable. This, of course is what the cross signifies. And it is the Cross that has called me inexorably to Christ.
GregI noted your quote from Chadwick; you are reading in rich pastures! Here are one or two gleanings from Chadwick's life.You cannot tell the truth about people you don't like, and therefore the first duty you owe them is silence. Chadwick's mother!Speaking of 666 as the number of highest human attainment apart from God he wrote; My contention is that 'sixes' can fill chapels; that it may be due rather to religious Barnumism than the the Holy Ghost; crowds may not be churches. Its number will only be the same as the devil's "666".and contrasting regeneration with reformation he wrote: It is not the sty that makes the pig, but the pig that makes the sty.a vision without a task makes a visionary.a task without a vision is drudgerya vision with a task makes a missionary
I love this quote but don't know who said it, im sure it was a purtian. "Unless we have WITHIN us that which is ABOVE us, we will eventually yield to that which is AMONG us." Powerful!
"a man being rich under the gospel, when it is known that his money can be used for the glory of God and the conversion of souls, is demonstration absolute, that he loves the world supremely. To say that he is rich, but does not set his heart upon riches--that he continues to retain his wealth, and yet does not set his heart upon it, is manifestly absurd and false. For, certainly, nothing but a supreme attachment to it could cause him to hold on to the possession of it, when every wind is loaded down with cries and beseechings to send the bread of life to those that are ready to perish.” Charles Finney
"A preacher who preaches the truth uncompromisingly will be asked "does your preaching always have to be so pointy? Does it always have to be so sharp?" And of coarse the answer is no. He can blunt his message if he'd like and become just as dull as the average preacher.""-Jesse Morrell
"It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it."-Dr. Vance Havner

"It was Theoddore Monod who declared that 'Obedience is the greatest commentary upon the Bible- Do, and thou shalt know.'"-Herbert Lockyer
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried."-G.K. Chesterton

"Solid, lasting missionary work is done on our knees."- J.O. Fraser
"there is no work better than another to please God; to pour water, to wash dishes, to be a cobbler, or an apostle, all is one; to wash dishes and to preach is all one to please God."~ william tyndale
Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.-A.W.Tozer
"He who prays as he ought will endeavour to live as he prays."-John Owen
"First we practice sin, then defend it, then boast of it."-Thomas Manton
"'Yet lackest thou one thing; Go sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; he was grieved at that saying, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions!' Poor youth! He had a good mind to be a Christian, and to inherit eternal life, but thought it too dear, if it could be purchased at no less an expense than of his estate! And thus many, both young and old, now-a-days, come running to worship our blessed Lord in public, and kneel before him in private, and inquire at his gospel, what they must do to inherit eternal life: but when they find they must renounce the self-enjoyment of riches, and forsake all in affection to follow him, they cry, 'The Lord pardon us in this thing! We pray thee, have us excused' ... He will not!" George WhitefieldSermons of George Whitefield
"The devil doesn’t mind how many sermons we preach or prepare if it will keep us from preparing ourselves."- Vance Havner
H. A. IronsideSome years ago a fearful railroad wreck took a dreadful toll of life and limb in an eastern state. A train, loaded with young people returning from school, was stalled on a suburban track because of what is known as a “hot-box.” The limited was soon due, but a flagman was sent back to warn the engineer in order to avert a rear-end collision. Thinking all was well, the crowd laughed and chatted while the train-hands worked on in fancied security. Suddenly the whistle of the limited was heard and on came the heavy train and crashed into the local, with horrible effect.The engineer of the limited saved his own life by jumping, and some days afterwards was hailed into court to account for his part in the calamity. And now a curious discrepancy in testimony occurred. He was asked, “Did you not see the flagman warning you to stop? ”He replied, “I saw him, but he waved a yellow flag, and I took it for granted all was well, and so went on, through slowing down.”. The flagman was called, “What flag did you wave? “A red flag, but he went by me like a shot.” “Are you sure it was red?” “Absolutely. ”Both insisted on the correctness of their testimony, and it was demonstrated that neither was color-blind. Finally the man was asked to produce the flag itself as evidence. After some delay he was able to do so, and then the mystery was explained. It had been red, but it had been exposed to the weather so long that all the red was bleached out, and it was but a dirty yellow! Oh, the lives eternally wrecked by the yellow gospels of the day—the bloodless theories of unregenerate men that send their hearers to their doom instead of stopping them on their downward road!Illustrations of Bible Truth by H. A. Ironside, Moody Press, 1945, pp. 62-63
"And what is wrong with the old method of scaring the ungodly with a sermon on hell?" Vance Havner"There is a lot of soft, sentimental talk about Him today that brings no conviction. When Isaiah saw the Lord, he did not feel comfortable! Neither did Habakkuk nor Daniel nor Paul nor John. We want a picture of Him today that does not disturb us, that smiles at sin, and winks at iniquity. I remember a man who told me he wanted to hear no hell-fire sermons but rather about the meek and lowly Jesus. Yet the poor man did not seem to realize that the meek and lowly Jesus said more about hell than is reported from the lips of anyone else in the Bible! We need a true and complete vision of God in His holiness and Christ in His glory that will bring us to repentance." Vance Havner
This is a quote from a one-off sermon I heard quite a few years ago. The preacher said 'Everyone is a clay mask, and behind it, a spirit burning. What spirit burns in you?'
"Witnessing is the whole work of the whole church for the whole age."-A.T. Pierson
"Obedience is the crown and honour of all virtue."-Martin Luther
Spiritual maturity is reached when obedience [to God and His word] becomes a joy. - Jesse Yoder
As best as I can remember, B.H. Clendennen said this..In acts the apostles prayed for 10 days then preached for 10 minutes and 3000 people were saved. Today pastors pray for 10 minutes then preach for 10 days and wonder why no-one is saved. ;-)

“Oh” says one, “I never felt the devil”; I am sure thou mayst feel him now; thou are dadda’s own child; thou art speaking the very language of the devil, and he is teaching thee to deny thy own father; therefore grace-less child of the devil, you never felt the devils fiery darts, it is because the devil is sure of thee…”-George Whitefield
"God give me a deep humility, a well-guided zeal, a burning love and a single eye, and then let men or devils do their worst." -George Whitefield

"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."-C.S. Lewis
A western man once visited Samuel Lamb, the leader of a well-known underground Church in Guangzhou (China). He is a man of God who has been imprisoned for his faith in Christ for over 20 years. At his departure the western man began to feel a little uncomfortable but finally said to brother Lamb: “We in the West...ehh..will pray for you and the Church here in China”. The answer Samuel Lamb gave was everything but what he had expected. Brother Lamb replied: “And we will pray for the western Christians to have more discipline”. - Paraphrased
Someone asked Luther, "Do you feel that you've been forgiven?"He answered, "No, but I'm as sure As there's a God in Heaven!"For feelings come and feelings go,And feelings are deceiving.My warrant is the word of God;Naught else is worth believing.Though all my heart should feel condemnedFor want of some sweet token,There is One greater than my heartWhose word cannot be broken.I'll trust in God's unchanging wordTill soul and body sever;For though all things shall pass away,His word shall stand forever."
"A dark hour makes Jesus bright."-Robert Murray McCheyne
"There are only two days on my calendar...today and the day of judgement".-Martin Luther
"You may pay for the book in which the Gospel is contained; for the Church or chapel in which it is preached, for the minister who preaches it to you … but, the Gospel itself is as free as the light that shines, as the rain and dew which fall from above; as the air which you inhale and as every other blessing of God"-John Bate
"This life is a dressing room for eternity THATS ALL IT IS"-Leonard Ravenhill
"The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking."- A.W. Tozer
"That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveller has arrived safely at his desired haven." - A.W. Tozer

"The evangelist who preaches for eternity is never great on numbers. He is not apt to count hundreds of converts where there is no restitution, no confession, and no glad cry which proclaims, 'The lost is found, the dead is made alive again!'"-E.M. Bounds.
"I would say without any hesitation that the most urgent need in the Christian Church today is true preaching; and as it is the greatest and most urgent need in the Church, it is obviously the greatest need of the world also."-Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones
"Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not." Jeremiah 45:5Ministers often seek . . . great gifts, great eloquence, great congregations, great popularity. They are wrong in seeking these so-called great things. Let them rather seek real things, gracious things, things that will make their souls blessed here and hereafter.-philpot
"The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer."-John Bunyan

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the Cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate. Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the field; for the sake of it a man will gladly go and sell all that he has. It is the pearl of great price to buy which the merchant will sell all his goods. It is the kingly rule of Christ, for whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble, it is the call of Jesus Christ at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows him. Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must the asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner. Above all, it is costly because it cost God the life of his Son: “ye were bought at a price, and what has cost God much cannot be cheap for us. Above all, it is grace because God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

"For bravery none compares with our Lord. He never turned His head from danger, not even when hell's hatred and heaven's justice appeared against Him." -William Gurnall
"Sin is never an accident. It's always intentional." Ray Greenley
"I have often wondered why God put these two things together…as the vital evidence of whether I am a child of God or a child of the devil…Holiness and Love. And as the years went by, I came to understand…as I watched peoples lives…holiness without love is ugliness. It is ugliness. Its rigid…separationalist…judmentary. But love makes holiness beautiful. Love makes holiness Christ-like-ness. A holy life governed by love is the mightiest weapon God could ever have at His disposal on this earth. A Holy life governed by love is a saved soul." Taken from the sermon “Examine Yourselves” by Keith Daniel. https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=1859

"Sin is . . . the dare of God's justice, the rape of His mercy, the jeer of His patience, the slight of His power the contempt of His love!"-John Bunyan
"When the Gospel was preached in these first ages of the Church, it was revealed to the hearts and consciences of sinners with great power. They deferred not their repentance one day, on account of any worldly considerations. They did not stay until they had set their houses in order. Neither did the fear of losing their estate, pleasures, or even life itself, separate them from Christ. Crowds of sinners who heard the Apostle preach, flocked into the Church as doves to their windows, turning speedily and without reserve to God their Savior; so that Zion, with holy admiration, might well exclaim. "Who has begotten these?" "-Thomas Reade
"For a man to have a personal relationship with Christ, that man has to have a personal revelation that he has sinned against Christ."
"We sin if our hearts are not satisfied with God" - unknown
"Once a young guy had a little conversation with an elder of a Church he visited. They talked a bit about their faith until at one moment the elder asked the young guy a question and very seriously said: "Do you find it difficult to hear God's voice in your life?". The young fellow looked at the elder, kept silent for a few seconds and then simply replied: "Not when I keep my mouth shut".

"A great preacher once said, "It is the great business of every Christian to save souls. People complain that they do not know how to take hold of this matter. Why, the reason is plain enough; they have never studied it. They have never taken the proper pains to qualify themselves for the work. If you do not make it a matter of study, how you may successfully act in building up the kingdom of Christ, you are acting a very wicked and absurd part as a Christian."-Ray Comfort
"If the Lord tarries, there may yet be a grass-roots awakening that will overflow all sectarian barriers. There are a host of good people who couldnt care less about this theologian or that, but who need to rekindle the fire of God within them and who long for a visitation from heaven in old-time power The kindling wood is scattered all around in all the churches May God help us to rake off the ashes, uncover the live coals and may He blow upon us with the breath of His Spirit!"-Vance Havner
"There is no rowing to paradise except upon the stream of repenting tears. Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet."-Thomas Watson
