GEORGE WHITEFIELD ON:–

ZEAL:–

I love those that thunder out the Word. The Christian world is in a deep sleep. Only a loud voice can awaken them out of it.

Had we a thousand hands and tongues, there is employment enough for them all: people are every where ready to perish for lack of knowledge. As the Lord has been pleased to reveal His dear Son in us, oh; let us stir up that gift of God, and with all boldness preach Him to others. Freely we have received, freely let us give.

MIRACLES:–

What need is there for them, now that we see greater miracles every day done by the power of God's Word?

Do not the spiritually blind now see? Are not the spiritually dead now raised, and the leprous souls now cleansed, and have not the spiritually poor the gospel preached unto them? And if we have the thing already, which the miracles were only intended to introduce, why should we tempt God in requiring further signs? He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
