More EARTH-SHAKING QUOTES!

"More corrupt than the dark days before Luther; more impotently
intellectual than during the heyday of Calvinism; more financially
perverted than the days that caused John the Baptist to explode;
more intoxicated with the drive for spiritual power than any age,
yet exercising that outward power with less internal transformation
than anyone since King Saul; enamored with the gifts, yet hardly
knowing the Giver, our age has produced the most commercial,
materialistic, fad-oriented people ever to claim His name."
-Gene Edwards.
"For I am verily persuaded the generality of preachers talk of an
unknown and unfelt Christ; and the reason why congregations
have been so dead is, because they have had dead men
preaching to them."
-Gilbert Tennent
"If Christians were not such cowards, and absolutely disobedient
to this plain command of God... one thing would certainly come
of it -- either they would be murdered in the streets as martyrs,
because men could not bear the intolerable presence of truth, or
they would be speedily converted to God."
-Charles Finney
"It is my studied judgement that some future generation will
deem this to be the darkest century, in spiritual depth and
spiritual experience, in church history - that is, unless something
very radical happens along... soon."
-Gene Edwards
