"Satan and our old nature may lie down together, but sin and grace never will. Sin will lust against grace, and grace draw a sword upon sin whenever they meet."
-William Gurnall
There are two types of peace which should be dreaded more than anything in the world: 1. Peace with sin 2. Peace in sin
-Joseph Alleine
Men study to profit in this world, but won't study under prophets who tell them to flee the world.
-G.A. Jarquin
The secret of backsliding is, that reformations are not carried deep enough. Christians are not set with all their hearts to aim at a speedy deliverance from all sin, but on the contrary are left, and in many instances taught, to indulge the expectation that they shall sin as long as they live.
-Charles G. Finney
"To what towering heights has sin grown when a man draws his encouragement to sin from the everlasting love of God!"
-William Gurnall
"They(lukewarm) purpose to sanctify God's name and even pray often for His will but their unholy hearts insist on compromise even though they know His will is sanctification."
-William Gurnall
“When man’s carnal nature bows to influence of sin, can he give God glory and defy Him at same time? If Christ’s purpose had been merely to forgive man but not restore his holiness, he would have been sin’s minister and man would have unrestrained freedom to dishonor God.”
– William Gurnall
“Some people who call themselves Christians are so far from holy living that they virtually have contests to see who can come the closest to the pit of sin without falling in!”
– William Gurnall
"The world is evil, the times are waxing late, and the glory of God has departed from the church as the fiery cloud once lifted from the door of the temple in the sight of Ezekiel the prophet.
"The God of Abraham has withdrawn His conscious Presence from us, and another God whom our fathers knew not is making himself at home with us. This God we have made and because we have made him, we can understand him; because we have made him he can never surprise us, never overwhelm us, nor astonish us, nor transcend us.
"The God of glory sometimes revealed Himself like a sun to warm and bless, indeed, but often to astonish, overwhelm, and blind before He healed and bestowed permanent sight. This God of our fathers wills to be the God of their succeeding race. We have only to prepare Him a habitation in love and faith and humility. We have but to want Him badly enough, and He will come and manifest Himself to us."
-- A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy
"God calls us to be holy. He expects us to grow in unlikeness to this world, and in likeness to that world which is to come."
-Horatius Bonar
