― Michael J. Sullivan, Age of Swords

“Proclaim the gospel from a posture of inadequacy and dependence. Don't try to impress people through technique. You will not bring people to conversion by satisfying the needs of reason. They come because the Holy Spirit has transformed their hearts.”

“What is faith in Christ?
It is the leaving of your way, your objects, your self, and the taking of his and him; the leaving of your trust in men, in money, in opinion, in character, in religious doctrines and opinions, and then doing as Christ tells you.
I can find no words strong enough to serve for the weight of this necessity-this obedience.
It is the one terrible heresy of the church that it has always been presenting something else than obedience as faith in Christ.”
― George MacDonald, Unspoken Sermons: Series I, II, III

“...God is more interested in our holiness than in our comfort.”
