Spirit filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God.

Samuel Chadwick
Samuel Chadwick war ein britischer methodistischer Prediger, Evangelist und Leiter des Cliff College an der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert. Er stand für die wesleyanische Heiligungsbewegung und betonte in seinen Schriften und Predigten die Notwendigkeit des beharrlichen Gebets sowie das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als Autor, der die Kirche vor geistlicher Selbstgenügsamkeit warnte und zu einer kompromisslosen Hingabe an Gott aufrief.
