We call to you, being commanded to preach the gospel to every creature, hoping and praying that Christ's power may accompany the Word and make it effectual to the quickening and raising of your dead souls.

He commands me, by his written Word, to call you and say, "Come unto him, all ye that are weary, and heavy laden, and he will refresh you; he will give you rest." Be not afraid, you seek Jesus of Nazareth; behold, he comes forth to meet you.

O man, I tell you, O woman, whoever you are that sits this day under a preached gospel, that if you are in a natural state you are as blind in your soul as Bartimeus was in his body.

Marvellous are your works, O Jesus, and that our souls know right well!

Oh, happy Bartimeus! Your eyes are now opened, and the very first object you do behold is the ever-loving, altogether-lovely Jesus.

It often happens that our opposers and discouragers afterward become our friends: "When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes his enemies be at peace with him." - George Whitefield

“Let the Lord Jesus but enter your souls, and you shall find peace which the world can neither give nor take away.” -George Whitefield

Popularity is a fiery furnace, and no one, but he who kept the three children amid Nebuchadnezzar's flames, can preserve popular ministers from being hurt by it.

Oh! what a sudden Alteration does this Foolishness of Preaching make in the most obstinate of hearts! - George Whitefield, 19 July 1739

His sovereign grace can reach and overcome the worst of people, in the very worst of places.

Let that cry, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh," be continually sounding in you ears; and begin now to live as though you were assured, this night you were to "go forth to meet him."

The thought of being instrumental in bringing one of you to glory fills me with fresh zeal.

Do not turn a deaf ear to me; do not reject the message on account of the meanness of the messenger. I am a child, but the Lord has chosen me that the glory might be all his own.

Last, what I say unto you, I say unto all: watch; high and low, rich and poor, young and old, one with another, I beseech you, by the mercies of Jesus, to be upon your guard: fly, fly to Jesus Christ, that heavenly Bridegroom.

Behold, he desires to take you to himself, miserable, poor, blind, and naked as you are.

Set death and eternity often before you. Look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. - George Whitefield

You may, perhaps, live honest and outwardly moral lives, but if you depend on that morality, or join your works with your faith, in order to justify you before God, you have no lot or share in Christ's redemption.

None but such who have a living faith in Jesus Christ, and are truly born again, can possibly enter into the kingdom of heaven,

If they will not let me preach Christ crucified, and offer salvation to poor sinners in a church, I will preach him in the lanes, streets, highways, and hedges.

Jesus, David's Son according to the flesh, but David's Lord as he was God, will have mercy upon all that by a living faith truly turn to him
