“…If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

 

Several years ago a man sent me a book he had compiled entitled, “Deep Fire”.  It is a collection of sayings by men and women, mostly from the past.  For several months I have been thinking and praying about sending some of these quotes out for your thought and prayer.  When the author of the quote is known, it is given…

 

“The secret of detachment from the world is attachment to Christ.”  A J Gordon

 

“In God’s work we see His hand, but in His Word we see His face.”

 

“One needs no further explanation of the lack of the fullness of the Spirit than the fullness of self”

                                                                                                                                               James H. McConkey

 

“Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.”  Demosthenes

 

“A deep and sober daily concern to please God is the rarest of rarities.”  Vance Havner

 

“Faith will lead you where you cannot walk.  Reason has never been a mountain climber.”  E W Kenyon

 

“During times of revival the Divine is so real that nothing else matters.  During times of decline, like our day, everything except the Divine matters.”

 

“Suspicions subtract, faith adds, but love multiplies.  It blesses twice-him who gives it, and him who receives it.”  C T Studd

 

“No amount of activity in the King’s service will make up for the neglect of the King Himself.”

                                                                                                                                      Robert Murray M’Cheyne

 

“Though the gracious soul still desires more of God, it never desires more than God.”  Matthew Henry

 

“The death of Jesus for you makes possible the Life of Jesus in you.”  Major Ian Thomas

 

“A revival is a miracle.  It is the hand of the Lord, and it is mighty.  It can only be explained as the direct act and intervention of God.”  D Martin Lloyd Jones

 

“Revival is not some emotion or worked-up excitement; it is an invasion from heaven that brings a conscious awareness of God.”  Stephen F Olford

 

Would you consider a recommendation from me?  Start at the top and take one quote per day.  Memorize it.  Quote it to yourself several times a day.  Think through the quote.  Pray about it.  Is the Lord using the quote to speak to you at some level in your life?  Respond to Him.  Talk back with Him.

Prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue!
