Storm the Gates
“Some want to live within sound of church and chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop a yard from hell.” So spoke C.T. Studd, pioneer missionary to China, India, and Africa, where he lived and served until his death.
Throughout Christian history, those who have given their all to the cause of Christ and His kingdom have been the first ones to charge into the fray, and the last ones to return home, giving their lives on the field of glory. What is it that makes these men and women so daring, risking everything they possess on their faith and their God? Read more
Helps to Holiness :: Samuel L. Brengle
“If there had been no little brick, there would have been no little book!” So said Samuel Brengle when referring to Helps to Holiness. Brengle, a Salvation Army itinerant preacher, was ministering in the skid row of Boston when a drunkard threw a paving brick at his head. While spending time in a hospital recovering, he wrote articles for the War Cry (a Salvation Army publication) which were collected and turned into Helps to Holiness. Read more
I Love Temptation
I love temptation. Before you gasp, get concerned, and think ill, please understand – I hate sin. Absolutely, utterly, unconditionally hate sin. I hate all its forms, I hate when I find it hiding in some recess of my soul. I detest the wretched thing. But I realized I love temptation. Read more
The Heavenly Realm – Part 1

Quote 002: Pressed Into Jesus

Where are the Men of Prayer?
With passion and conviction, this fiery hot guest post will stir your soul, bring you to your knees, and cause a desperate clinging to the King of kings and Lord of lords. May we be such men (and women) of prayer. Men who have a single eye for Jesus and a sole consumption to see King and Kingdom realized and experienced on earth. May we be the individuals whom God uses to bring forth an unparalleled revival in this generation. Oh how we desperately need it! May these words from my dear friend Nick Thompson set you aflame.
