George Whitefield



Secure sinners must hear
the thundering of Mount Sinai
before we bring them to Mount Zion.
Every minister should be a Boanerges,
a son of thunder,
as well as Barnabas, a son of consolation.
George Whitfield
1714-1770
Famous Open-Air Preacher

First, then, before you can speak
peace to your hearts,
you must be made to see,
made to feel, made to weep over,
made to bewail,
your actual transgressions
against the Law of God.
George Whitfield
1714-1770
Famous Open-Air Preacher

That is the reason we have so many
“mushroom” converts, because their
stony ground is not plowed up; they
have not got a conviction of the Law;
they are stony-ground hearers.
GEORGE WHITEFIELD

“I was honored
today with having
a few stones, dirt,
rotten eggs,
and pieces of
dead cats
thrown at me.”
George Whitefield

First, then, before you can speak
peace to your hearts,
you must be made to see,
made to feel,
made to weep over,
made to bewail,
your actual transgressions
against the Law of God.
George Whitefield
1714-1770
Preached in England,
Scotland, Wales, Gibraltar,
Bermuda
And the American Colonies

“The Christian world is in a deep sleep; nothing but a loud shout can awaken them out of it!”
GEORGE WHITEFIELD
