.- A Cloud On The Horizon: Hope For Biblical Revival In Our Time?
"I see a small cloud on the horizon of evangelicalism. If it continues to grow, the Holy Spirit could turn it into a cloudburst of reformation and revival. That cloud is the widespread interest in recovering the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
. - "The Movie" is Ending—Now What?
"I hope our experience with The Passion has reminded us that the power of the crucifixion is not in a visual depiction, but in a verbal explanation. No image of the cross—past, present, or in the high-tech future—can sufficiently communicate the meaning of the cross."

- Interview with Donald S. Whitney
"Simplifying one’s spiritual life is not so much about doing fewer things as it is about doing the right things with the right motives. We simplify, not just to be less busy, even though we may be right to pursue that. Rather, we simplify to remove distractions from our pursuit of Christ. We simplify, not merely to save time, but to eliminate hindrances to the time we devote to knowing Christ and doing the will of God."

Revival was the church's only hope."
. - Richard Fuller, Part 1 -- A Biographical Sketch
"But the most amazing thing of all is that during more than two decades when the entire nation was torn asunder, and especially during those four years when every emotion in the hearts of parents and wives and sisters and sons and daughters tempted them to harbor bitterness and a divisive spirit, the fellowship of Seventh Baptist Church in Baltimore, under the preaching of Richard Fuller, not only failed to divide, it actually grew, from 87 members to an astonishing 1,200!
There is much we can learn from the life and preaching of a man like that."
. - Richard Fuller, Part 2 -- His Preaching
"Fuller's dying words ["Who'll preach Jesus?"] bear testimony to what he lived for--to preach Jesus. His biographer contends that 'As a preacher of the gospel and a good minister of Jesus Christ, he must rank with the foremost of this or of any age.'"
