“I know that everywhere Christ is in the church in the power of his Spirit, compassion for souls becomes very prominent. Christ weeps through his people’s eyes, and hears us through his children’s hearts. He makes them pitiful and full of compassion. They cannot bear it that men should be damned, it grieves them that the day of a gracious visitation should come, and yet so many should reject Christ. Oh, my brethren, you who live near to Christ, and feel a sympathy with him, ask the Lord to give you heart-ache over dying souls; ask him to make you feel an anguish because men will not come unto him that they might have life, but will persist in committing spiritual suicide, by putting far from them life eternal. Oh, that we might see a holy passion for souls in the church, for that would be a blessed sign of rich grace.”

“The life of faith does not follow automatically when a person becomes a Christian. It requires deliberate action on his part. This is especially true in affluent society. The believer must put himself in a position where he is compelled to trust God… It is only as he gets rid of his reserves and other false supports that he can truly launch out into the deep.”
