There can be no revival when Mr. Amen and Mr. Wet-Eyes are not found in the audience. Charles Finney
When a man’s mouth is thus opened, God’s ears are never closed. When the penitent is talking the Savior is listening.
W. Graham Scroggie
Godly sorrow causeth grief for sin, because it is sin. It makes any man in whom it is to be of this disposition and mind, that if there were no conscience to accuse, no devil to terrify, no Judge to arraign and condemn, no hell to torment, yet he would be humbled and brought on his knees for his sins, because he hath offended a loving, merciful, and longsuffering God.
William Perkins
Other things may be the worse for breaking, yet a heart is never at the best till it be broken.
Sir Richard Baker
Moreover, true repentance never exists except in conjunction with faith, while on the other hand, wherever there is true faith, there is also real repentance. The two are but different aspects of the same turning-a turning away from sin in the direction of God. The two cannot be separated; they are simply complementary parts of the same process.
Louis Berkhoff
Repentance and faith are not rites of initiation to Christianity. Repentance and faith are the way to relate to God. Repentance and faith are not acts performed one time to become a Christian. They are attitudes of heart toward myself and my sin. Faith is not just the way to get saved, it is the lifeline of Christian living.
Tedd Tripp
