“Preachers are not sermon makers, but men makers and saint makers, and he only is well-trained for this business who has made himself a man and a saint. It is not great talents nor great learning nor great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God - men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it. These can mold a generation for God.” MenNeedsWellsMadeGenerationsTalentHolySaintHolinessMakersPreacherPreachingSermonsMoldFidelityPulpitGreat TalentHoly Life Book:Power Through Prayer Source: Power Through Prayer

“Holy men of old were moved upon by the Holy Spirit and the revelation given to them is God's Word in the Holy Scriptures. Is God speaking any less today through holy men called of God to bring a message through revelation to this generation? ... We wave our Bibles and cry, 'This is the Word of' God.' Indeed it is God's Word, but the Holy Spirit yet brings revelation to this generation today that is no less God's Word...

He places more emphasis on the Holy Scriptures which never change, while his opposite number (as the newspapers say) tends to judge his spiritual condition by the state of his feelings, which change constantly. This may be the reason that so many Calvinistic churches remain orthodox for centuries, at least in doctrine, while many churches of the Arminian persuasion often go liberal in one generation.” IfsShouldMayDoeSaidStatesReasonFeelingsSpiritualChurchNumbersRecordsGenerationsConditionsCenturyJudgingHolyOppositesScriptureNewspapersDoctrineOrthodoxSquaresPersuasionEmphasisNever ChangeHoly Scriptures Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
