The man who is out to possess his possessions will soon discover that there is no easy way to victory. The highest values in life must be fought for and won.

Selfishness | Victory
To me, it has been a source of great comfort and strength in the day of battle, just to remember that the secret of steadfastness, and indeed, of victory, is the recognition that “the Lord is at hand.”

There is a growing conviction everywhere, and especially among thoughtful people, that unless revival comes, other forces will take the field, that will sink us still deeper into the mire of humanism and materialism.

Can we be casual in the work of God — casual when the house is on fire, and people in danger of being burned?

Apathy | Evangelism | Work
The preacher who will proclaim this glorious truth and magnify the cleansing power of the blood of Christ will find that his message of full deliverance touches life at every point. He is doing a disservice to his hearers and is dishonoring his God if he substitutes any other theme.
– Duncan Campbell
Preaching
To me, one of the most disturbing features of present-day evangelism is the over-emphasis on what man can do, and I believe this to be the reason why we so often fail to get men and women to make the contact with Christ that is vital.

Evangelism | Women
There is a kind of gospel being proclaimed today which conveniently accommodates itself to the spirit of the age, and makes no demand for godliness.

Apathy | Heresy | Godliness
The success or failure of our work as a church or mission depends, in the last resort, largely, not in the number of preachers we put into the field, nor on the size of our congregations, but rather on the character of Christianity we and our work produce.

How many there are whose lives are weak and whose service is poor and ineffective, just because they have not zealously guarded the time and place of prayer!

Prayer
God takes the field He does a thorough work, but in this connection we do well to remember that it takes the supernatural to burst the bands of the natural.

Revival
The Kingdom of God is not going to be advanced by our churches becoming filled with men, but by men in our churches becoming filled with God.

It is the signature of the Holy Ghost upon our work and witness that makes all the difference.

The Holy Spirit | Witnessing
How easy it is to live more or less in the enjoyment of God’s free grace, and yet not realize that we are called to fulfill a divinely appointed purpose.
– Duncan Campbell
Apathy
We all believe in the sovereignty of God in the affairs of men, but when this view is strained to the point of eliminating man’s responsibility, we have no hesitation in saying it borders on heresy.
– Duncan Campbell
Laziness | Heresy | Responsibility
The average man is not going to be impressed by our publicity, our posters or our programs, but let there be a demonstration of the supernatural in the realm of religion, and at once man is arrested.

Revival | The Holy Spirit
oday, we have a Christianity made easy as an accommodation to an age that is unwilling to face the implication of Calvary, and the gospel of ‘simply believism’ has produced a harvest of professions which have done untold harm to the cause of Christ.
– Duncan Campbell
Apathy | Christianity
We should ever aim at coming into contact with God in the morning, so that hearing His voice we may be made conscious of His presence, and know the inspiration that comes from such a meeting.
– Duncan Campbell
Prayer
When sin exerts itself and we know its power and by its power we are held in bondage, surely our dire need is for God to deal with the cause, a sinful heart.
– Duncan Campbell
Sin | The Heart
All that God asks is that the heart should be cleansed from sin, full of love, whether it be the tender heart of a little child, with feeble powers of loving, or of the full-grown man.
– Duncan Campbell
Holiness | The Heart
We must take ourselves in hand, and school ourselves, especially our wills, into a greater fitness for the serious business of living as Christian workers, of being ambassadors of Jesus Christ.

This desire for heart purity is a creation of the Holy Spirit at work in the heart.
