One more, I exhort you that fear God and work righteousness, you that are servants of God.
—John Wesley
If our work prevents us, as it normally does, from having prayer meetings during the day, let us make up for it in some way and see to it that we pray as much as we should.
—AW Tozer
The teaching of the New Testament is that God and spiritual things can be known finally only by a direct work of God within the soul. The true understanding of God must be by personal spiritual awareness. The Holy Spirit is indispensable.
—AW Tozer
Learn to pray inwardly every moment. After a while you can do this even while you work.
—AW Tozer
Much religious work is being done these days that will not be accepted or rewarded in that great day. Superior human gifts are being mistaken for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and neither they who exercise these gifts nor the Christian public are aware of the deception.
—AW Tozer
Christianity is no less than the real, supreme work of the Triune God, in which the Father reconciles his created but fallen world through the death of his Son and re-creates it through his Spirit into the kingdom of God.
—Herman Bavinck
Since the fall of man the earth has been a disaster area & everyone lives with a critical emergency. Nothing is normal. Everything is wrong & everyone is wrong until made right by the redeeming work of Christ & the effective operation of the Holy Spirit.
—AW Tozer
Grace is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the entire work of salvation; it is totally devoid of human merit.
—Herman Bavinck
Where God’s Word is, there is God Himself, there God’s Spirit is at work, there God establishes His covenant, there He plants His church.
—Herman Bavinck
Oh, how I longed to be with Christ, to be employed in the glorious work of angels, and with an angel’s freedom, vigour, and delight! And yet how willing was I to stay awhile on earth, that I might do something, if the Lord pleased, for his interest in the world!
—David Brainerd
I was resigned to God’s will, to tarry his time, to do his work, and suffer his pleasure.
—David Brainerd
I longed to make some returns to God; but found I had nothing to return: I could only rejoice, that God had done the work himself; and that none in heaven or earth might pretend to share the honour of it with him.
—David Brainerd
Oh, how heavy is my work, when faith cannot take hold of an almighty arm, for the performance of it! Many times have I been ready to sink in this case. Blessed be God, that I may repair to a full fountain.
—David Brainerd
(2 Cor. 7:1) Here’s the work of a Christian, cleansing work, and perfecting work in the fear of God, to the end of our lives…. He that is contented with these terms is surely Christ’s as ever was any soul.
—John Flavel
Heart-work is hard work indeed. To shuffle over religious duties with a loose and heedless spirit, will cost no great pains; but to set thyself before the Lord, and tie up thy loose and vain thoughts to a constant and serious attendance upon him; this will cost thee something.
—John Flavel
We should confess Christ constantly. We should not be ashamed of our Lord and King. We should let people know that we are on His side. In the home, in the church, at our work, and at our play, we should let others know where we stand.
—R. A. Torrey
You can never convict a man of sin, because that is the work of the Holy Spirit. You can reason and reason and you will fail. It is ours to preach the Word and look to the Holy Spirit to produce conviction.
—R. A. Torrey
Do not engage in any amusement that you cannot make a matter of prayer, that you cannot ask God’s blessing upon. Pray before your play just as much as you would pray before your work.
—R. A. Torrey
Go to your pastor and ask him if there is some work he would like to have you do for him in the church. Be a person that your pastor can depend upon.
—R. A. Torrey
Sin is that which has defiled God’s work, God’s image, in man and woman.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Never let the rush of business crowd out prayer. Prayer is the greatest time saver known to man. The more work crowds you, the more time you should take for prayer.
—R. A. Torrey
My friends, if we are going to do a great work for God, we must spend much time in prayer, we have got to be closeted with God.
—D. L. Moody
Sin not only defiles God’s work; it is also insulting to God.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Our preservation is a Trinitarian work.
God the Father keeps and preserves us.
God the Son intercedes for us.
God the Holy Spirit indwells and assists us.
R.C. Sproul
I haven’t failed,I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
—Thomas Edison
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
—Thomas Edison
Sincere endeavors to do God’s service is our whole work, but the success of these endeavors is God’s work.
Stephen Marshall
The church is a divine institution, built by Jesus Christ Himself. It is the one institution that abides. Other institutions come and go; they do their work for the day and disappear, but the church will continue to the end.
—R. A. Torrey
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
—Henry David Thoreau
“The great redemptive work is for ever finished, and Christ has done it all. “
