Here are some quotes that struck me during my time at IHOP for the OneThing 2010 conference and even recently as I have re-listened to these messages:

Corey Russel, on why the fire dies 2-3 weeks after a major conference: "Could it be that your life is in direct opposition to containing and stewarding the impartation that you received?"

Corey Russel: "The biggest besetting sin, in this generation, is laziness."

Corey Russel: "Do you know what I want to see take place over these next four days? A voice go out, and you immediately change your life and find yourself in the midst of communities and companies embracing prayer, fasting, sermon on the mount lifestyle and preparation for the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ."

Lou Engle: "If we get the same revelation as Peter, 'thou art the Christ,' the gates of hell everywhere are in trouble."

Lou Engle: "I don't want just revival. I want reformation."

Shelley Hundley's salvation prayer: "I will never humiliate myself like this again, so if you're gonna do something you better do it now."

Shelley Hundley: "Oh my goodness, a human being can feel what He feels! A human being can actually reach into the depths of the resources of God's love. How high, how deep, how wide and how long, and can feel the measure of it."

Stephen Venable: "If you just view Christianity as a lifestyle, then maybe that lifestyle might be different in the 20th century, than it was in the 1st century. Just maybe. But, if discipleship and Christianity is about conformity to a person, and if that person is the same yesterday, today and forever, then the Christian life does not change with the passing centuries. Because discipleship and Christianity is like being like Jesus. And increasingly, the greatest single crisis that the church faces, in this hour, is that there is more and more, all sorts of things being done, under the banner of Christianity, that is drifting further and further and further away from the identity, the life, the teaching of Jesus Christ."

Stephen Venable: "...The problem is, Jesus is presented, almost only, as a means to those ends [of our happiness], rather than our life being a means to the end of His glory and His fame....The Christian message has almost been reduced to, 'God loves you and has a great plan for your life',"

Stephen Venable: "Does Jesus exist to give us stuff, and to affirm us, or do we exist to deny ourselves and give Him glory?"

Stephen Venable: "Have we so suburbanized godliness that it couldn't possibly offend anyone? We are just falling over ourselves trying to make Jesus and His demands palatable to the world."

Stephen Venable: "Our version of Jesus that we have, He's our therapist, our life-coach, and our little mascot and our sugar daddy who just gives us anything we want. That will never evoke a sacrificial lifestyle. The glorious Jesus of the Bible, who created everything, and sustains everything right now by His word, and who took on flesh for our sake, and gave himself over to death, and was raised again from the dead and ascended into heaven and rules over all things and is coming again to set up an everlasting kingdom. That Jesus might compel us into a life of sacrifice. But the version of Jesus that is preached in modernity will never do it."

Stephen Venable: "We have to give ourselves unreservedly, with abandonment, to the study, to the meditation, to the adoration of the LORD Jesus, as found in the Word of God."
