God intends us to penetrate the world. Christian salt has no business to remain snugly in elegant little ecclesiastical salt cellars; our place is to be rubbed into the secular community, as salt is rubbed into meat, to stop it going bad. And when society does go bad, we Christians tend to throw up our hands in pious horror and reproach the non-Christian world; but should we not rather reproach ourselves? One can hardly blame unsalted meat for going bad. It cannot do anything else. The real question to ask is: Where is the salt?

John Stott (Author, 1921 – 2011)

If I read the newspaper I come out dirtier than I went in. If I read my Bible, I come out cleaner than I went in, and I like being clean!

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

The secret of spiritual success is a hunger that persists…It is an awful condition to be satisfied with one’s spiritual attainments…God was and is looking for hungry, thirsty people.

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

Enter into the promises of God. It is your inheritance. You will do more in one year if you are really filled with the Holy Ghost than you could do in fifty years apart from Him.

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

We must be careful not to choose, but to let God’s Holy Spirit manage our lives; not to smooth down and explain away, but to stir up the gift and allow God’s Spirit to disturb us and disturb us and disturb us until we yield and yield and yield and the possibility in God’s mind for us becomes an established fact in our lives, with the rivers in evidence meeting the need of a dying world.

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

God never intended His people to be ordinary or commonplace. His intentions were that they should be on fire for Him, conscious of His divine power, realizing the glory of the cross that foreshadows the crown.

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

To hunger and thirst after righteousness is when nothing in the world can fascinate us so much as being near God.

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

I don’t often spend more than half an hour in prayer at one time, but I never go more than half an hour without praying.

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

I am not moved by what I see. I am moved only by what I believe.

Smith Wigglesworth (Evangelist, 1859 – 1947)

God does not call those who are equipped, He equips those whom He has called.
