The gospel is not an old, old story freshly told. It is a fire in the spirit, fed by the flame of immortal love; and woe unto us, if, through our negligence to stir up the gift of God which is within us, that fire burns low.

"Only when you have an experiential encounter with the Passionate God of Eternity can you truly become passionate about your destiny and purpose."
- Edgar Iraheta |
|
"Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, are things Christ unsparingly condemned. Destitute of fire, they are nothing more than godless philosophy, an ethical system, and a superstition."
-Samuel Chadwick |
|
| "That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a proven fact."
-Robert Jastrow |

"When we look at our weakness and sin, we forget about the one: That healed the blind, forgave the adulterous woman, gave eternal water to the woman at the well, cleansed the leper, delivered the young man with epilepsy, and healed the woman with the issue of blood. What else do we need? I believe His track record settles it for me!"
- Edgar Iraheta |

"Jesus does not need your resolutions, your re-commitments, or your promises to try harder. Jesus asks for your love. If you truly love Him, your service for Him will be of the quality that He desires."

"An exalted view of God brings a clear view of sin and a realistic view of self. A diminished view of God brings a reduced view of sin and an inflated view of self....Have we so conformed ourselves to a sinful world that we are satisfied with unholy living? Have we sunk so far below God's standard that when someone does live as God intended, we consider that person "super-spiritual"?...God wants to sanctify you as He is holy."
-Blackaby |

| "The temptations that draw you the most are a pathway to your destiny; once you overcome them, you gain a voice of authority over demonic spirits."
-David Whitmire |
|
"You can read the word (scriptures) and still not know God. It's when the Word becomes part of you that you can become a word for those that need one. That is the Prophetic Generation God is raising, one that knows the God of the Word."

| We know the utility of prayer from the efforts of the wicked spirits to distract us during the divine office; and we know the fruit of prayer in the defeat of our enemies.
-John Climacus |

| "Of what good is a religion, if the ministry it is connected to, is not helping people who have nothing to offer in return?!"
-Dr. Tony Evans |
|
"No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire; no prayer without flame."
-E. M. Bounds |
|
| "Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is....That is why bad people know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in. We never find out the strength of the impulse inside us until we try to fight it: and Christ, because He was the only man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only man who knows to the full what temptation means--the only complete realist."
-C.S. Lewis |

| "I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible."
-Teresa of Avila |

| We are better paid, better fed, better housed, better educated and healthier than ever before...yet for 30 years America slid into a deepening social recession....The divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide has tripled, the recorded violent crime rate has quadrupled, the prison population has quintupled, the percentage of babies born to unmarried parents as sextupled, cohabitation (a predictor of future divorce) has increased sevenfold and depression has soared to ten times the pre-World War II level, by one estimate.

| "Power derives not from knowing about the weapons of spiritual warfare, but from actively using them in daily life."
-Dick Staub |
|
| "If in the last few years you haven't discarded a major opinion or adopted a new one, check your pulse, you may be dead."
-Frank Gelett Burgess |
|
| "Marriage without God, is like two ticks without a dog. They will suck the life out of each other."
