…. "A man set on fire is an apostle of his age. And the
only one who can kindle the spark of light and fire on the hearth where it has
died down is He who has revealed Himself as the God of fire, our Lord Jesus
Christ. 'Our God is a consuming fire'...Tell me, is your ministry a burning and
shining light, or a smoking wick, slowly dying out to ashes? ...It is a strange
custom that we should supply a minister with a glass of water; if only we could
supply him with a bonfire in the pulpit, a spiritual bonfire. We need the dynamic of a flaming ministry
that will set the Church on fire.” - Samuel M. Zwemer
…. "How often has very earnest prayer for the fullness
of the Holy Ghost been in vain, because he who sought that unspeakable blessing
sought it rather for the glory which the possession of it, or the reputation
for the possession of it, might bring to man, than for the honor and praise
that might be brought to God." … G. H. C. Macgregor
