A charge to those ordained in the #UMC:

1. Be glad that God has called you to a hard life.
2. Never be content to know about God. Know God yourself in the intimacy of prayer and by quarrying in the book of God.
3. Want nothing for yourself but holiness.

[Shane Newton @Shane_Newton1]

Every sincere and thoughtful believer questions his own mind at times on what lives at the center of his faith; what is beyond custom and what is within ceremony; what he would die for and what he could die on. —W. E. Sangster

[Shane Newton @Shane_Newton1]

Millions of Christians live powerless lives of straining self-effort. Paul would convict them today as he convicted the men at Ephesus who had been baptized only by the baptism of John. There is no evidence of power. We have not believed for holiness. —W. E. Sangster

[Shane Newton @Shane_Newton1]

The saint never gives up. He goes on serving, loving, helping…He aches for souls. Neither indifference, nor slander, nor injury, can stop him. He does not make a motive of gratitude. His great motive is his utter love for God. —W.E. Sangster

“We need to hear the Gospel everyday, because we forget it everyday.”

-Martin Luther

[Walk with God @WalkwithGod7]

Centuries of experience have tested the Bible. It has passed through critical fires no other volume has suffered, and its spiritual truth has endured the flames and come out without so much as the smell of burning. — W.E. Sangster

Muitas pessoas oram por coisas que só podem ocorrer com o trabalho, e trabalham por coisas que só podem ocorrer pela oração.

How shall I feel at the judgment if multitudes of missed opportunities pass before me in full review, and all my excuses prove to be disguises of my cowardice and pride? 🙏😔

"I have tried to make my own preaching part of my life. In the week preceding the Sunday...when I have been preparing the sermons...I have tried to make them autobiographical, to live in them, to incarnate in my own life the truths I was led to proclaim, to know the thing in experience before I uttered it in words."

“If you are too busy to pray, then you are too busy.”

One of England’s preachers, W. E. Sangster said, “The easiest way to embarrass a congregation of twentieth century Christians is to ask them two simple questions. ‘When is the last time you personally led another person to Jesus Christ?’ and ‘When is the last time you tried?’"

[Tom Harzula @tharzula]

Resentment is an evil germ in the mind. It is hard to recognize as evil because it clothes itself in a sense of justification. But--justified or not--it is still a poison, and it is in the one who holds it. - W.E. Sangster #UMC #GMC

[W.E. Sangster @we_sangster]

The future need not fright you. And shall we not give the more earnest heed to all those things that make us responsive to [God's] guidance, striving above all else for a high sensitivity to his will and so, seeking and finding, follow him to the end, in the end, and beyond...

[W.E. Sangster @we_sangster]

I am a preacher, but in nothing do I fail more completely in my preaching than in convicting people of sin. I come here week by week and...plead the case for my Lord...My words are not enough. I need something more than a ready tongue--I need the power of the Holy Spirit.

[Shane Newton @Shane_Newton1]

No pulpit has power if it lacks deep faith in the message itself and in preaching as God’s supreme method in making His message known. -W.E. Sangster

[W.E. Sangster @we_sangster]

I know quite well that this world doesn't look as though it belongs to Jesus...the battle between good and evil seems sharp as it ever was. But the real victory is already won. Christ overcame the world at Calvary...He is on the throne.
