Spurgeon said, “Like Jonah, you may lose your gourd, but you cannot lose your God.” The atheist has lost his “gourd” but God still is.

Spirit of God
If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 90% of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. That is a very state of affairs because if the early church had experience the withdrawing of the Holy Spirit everybody would have noticed. It does not have to be that way; it should not be that way; we can remedy that problem and we must.
Do You really want to see Revival?
It is a waste of time for a group of believers to spend long hours begging God for revival. If we ourselves do not intend to reform then we may as well not pray.
Unless praying people have enough insight and faith to amend their whole way of life to be in complete conformity to the New Testament pattern then there will be no genuine revival.
New Reformation Needed
We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.

People are Religious
I find that when people haven’t found God and do not know the new birth and the Spirit is not on them, yet they have the ancient impulse to worship something. If they’re not educated they kill a chicken and put a funny thing on their head and dance around. If they are educated they write poetry. A. W. Tozer
Do you Truly Follow The Christ
What’s closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God’s close to your heart, you’ll talk about Him.
If you never mention the Lord in conversation with each other, isn’t that proof that you aren’t [much] concerned about Him? – A. W. Tozer
So we find that there are a lot of Christians who fail to hear God’s voice because they’ve pretty much decided that they aren’t going to do what He says anyway. But “God’s commands are designed to guide you to life’s very best.” – Henry Blackaby
Charles Colson Regarding Resurrection
We Are But Dust
For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust. Psalm 103:14 NASB
Man’s days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who revere Him, and His righteousness is to sons of sons; to those who keep His commandments to do them. Psalm 103:15-18
Make Your Character Great
Greater than common interest is common character. If characters are similar, interests can be made to harmonize in some way. Young people may be drawn together by sex appeal, but this will not last without the background of character. The pooling of their finances or economic ability may influence them, but this cannot last without kindred character structure. In rare instances we hear of love at first sight that really lasts. Sometimes a hasty marriage is successful, but the chances against it are too great, the risk too enormous. A man may accidentally run into a gold mine, but the rule is that gold mines are found by those who intelligently seek for them and often at personal sacrifice and danger. The same is true in marriage. Some marriages are like the grab bag. Who can afford the danger of a mistake? Mistakes are entirely too many, even with careful effort to avoid them. What should guide one in this important hour? The answer is character. What kind of character do I want to live with all of my life? That question should be carefully considered and answered by every person.
