“He, therefore, is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God, who considers God in everything, who makes all the parts of his common life parts of piety, by doing everything in the Name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to His glory”–William Law.

“You will remember the story of Elijah when the fire of God fell on Mt. Carmel. Elijah refused to take any of the credit, but had the people singing the chorus, ‘The Lord, He is God; The Lord, He is God’, and all the pagans who observed it knew that God had sent the fire and performed the miracle. Revival came to the land. Perhaps the greatest reason that revival tarries today is because we steal the glory that belongs to God”–Ron Herrod.

“Many Christians have what we might call a ‘cultural holiness.’ They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them. As the Christian culture around them is more or less holy, so these Christians are more or less holy. But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like Himself”–Jerry Bridges.

“For certainly God requires ‘truth in the inward being’, and the Christian must at all costs be honest and truthful. To be deceitful, to lapse into hypocrisy, to resort to intrigue and scheming, this is to play the devil’s game, and we shall not be able to beat him at his own game. What he abominates is transparent truth. He loves darkness; light causes him to flee. For spiritual as for mental health honesty about oneself is indispensable”–John Stott.
