I got more true knowledge from reading the Book of God in one month, than I could ever have acquired from all the writings of men.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

It is an undoubted truth that every doctrine that comes from God, leads to God; and that which doth not tend to promote holiness is not of God.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

True repentance will entirely change you; the bias of your souls will be changed, then you will delight in God, in Christ, in His Law, and in His people.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

I began to read the Holy Scriptures upon my knees, laying aside all other books, and praying over, if possible, every line and word. This proved meat indeed and drink indeed to my soul. I daily received fresh life, light and power from above.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

Congregations are lifeless because dead men preach to them.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

We can preach the Gospel of Christ no further than we have experienced the power of it in our own hearts.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

If we once get above our Bibles and cease making the written Word of God our sole rule both as to faith and practice, we shall soon lie open to all manner of delusion and be in great danger of making shipwreck of faith and a good conscience.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

I was honored today with having a few stones, dirt, rotten eggs, and pieces of dead cat thrown at me.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him.

George Whitefield (Evangelist, 1714 – 1770)

True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness. Those who trust in their own righteousness for conversion hide behind their own good works. This is the reason that self-righteous people are so angry with gospel preachers, because the gospel does not spare those who will not submit to the righteousness of Jesus Christ!
