Epiphany
After the great awakening and deepening of his faith in his late twenties through personal enlightenment after which he burned all his original sermons, he moved to a larger congregation and greater popularity. After several years of preaching in Edinburgh and in the new chapel in Glasgow he was ordained in 1890 and returned to England as Leeds Inspector of Mission.
Cliff College
In 1904, Chadwick began teaching weekly at Cliff College, a Methodist lay training center, departing from Leeds. In 1907, he was appointed to the faculty position as a biblical and theological tutor. Although he did missionary work in South Yorkshire Coalfield when Principal Cliff died in 1912, he soon returned to school and was officially appointed headmaster in 1913, remaining at the post for the rest of his career.
The famous outdoor evangelist Leonard Ravenhill was educated at Cliff College during Chadwick's tenure.
At Cliff, Chadwick wrote The Way to Pentecost, which was printed when he died in 1932. He also wrote The Call to Christian Perfection . Chadwick's works have often been reprinted since his death, and continue to be reprinted in new editions under various titles for modern research.
The road to Pentecost contains this popular quote:
Soul security is hot. Truth without enthusiasm, unemotional morality, soulless rituals, make a Church without power. Ruin the Fire of God, nothing else is precious; has a Fire, nothing is important.
The other most publicized quotes are:
The main concern of the devil is to prevent Christians from praying. He was not afraid of anything from study without prayer, work without prayer, and religion without prayer. He laughed at our hard work, mocking our wisdom, but trembling when we prayed.
