Likewise today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they
die. They don't want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They
refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they're living just to die.
-David Wilkerson
"Isn't it staggering when you think that one sermon on the day of Pentecost produced 3000 people? And we had some cities yesterday where 3000 sermons were preached and nobody was saved… And it doesn't even faze us."
-Leonard Ravenhill
