Wisdom of the Ages – Frank Bartleman

Wisdom of the Ages

Frank Bartleman

“A revival almost always begins among the laity. The ecclesiastical leaders seldom welcome reformation. History repeats itself. The present leaders are too comfortably situated as a rule to desire innovation that might require sacrifice on their part. And God’s fire only falls on sacrifice. An empty altar receives no fire!”
– Frank Bartleman – Participant of the Azusa Revival

“A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”
– Jeremiah 5:30-31

Wisdom of the Ages – Brian Troxel

“But none of these things move me”
Acts 20:24

Brian Troxel

The immovable walk of God’s own is a confidence born of true humility, for they who have ceased to rely upon themselves have found the everlasting arms of God Himself to be their hope, their strength and their very life…

“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry…”
Colossians 3:4-5

It is in our undoing that we are made –

“for when I am weak, then am I strong”
2 Corinthians 12:10

 Thomas De Witt Talmage

“Take not into your ear that scum of hell that people call tittle-tattle. Whosoever willingly listens to a slander is equally guilty with the one who tells it, and an old writer says they ought both to be hanged; the one by the tongue and the other by the ear. Do not smile upon such a spaniel, lest like a pleased dog, he puts his dirty paw upon you.”
– Thomas De Witt Talmage

“And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness”
– Genesis 9:23
