“Another proof of the conquest of a soul for Christ will be found in a real change of life.

“Christ pitied because He loved, because He saw through all the wretchedness, and darkness, and bondage of evil; that there was in every human soul a possibility of repentance, of restoration; a germ of good, which, however stifled and overlaid, yet was capable of recovery, of health, of freedom, of perfection.” HumansSoulEvilChristDarknessSawsPossibilityCapablePerfectionRecoveryRepentanceBondageHuman SoulRestorationGermsWretchedness Author:Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
“I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G. Finney winning his thousands and his hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ. Then I picked up a book and read the messages of Charles G. Finney and the message of Jonathan Edwards on 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,' and I said, 'No wonder men trembled; no wonder they fell in the altars and cried out in repentance and sobbed their way to the throne of grace!'” MenWaySaidBookSoulHandsPastWinningChristWonderGraceMessagesAngryKingdomsSinnerRepentanceCriedThronesKingdom Of GodRevivalAltarsSweeping Author:Leonard Ravenhill

True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.” IfsWellsMadeSoulChristSinDepthConvictionRepentancePreaching Author:Charles Spurgeon
