Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.

Our most pressing obligation is to do all in our power to obtain a revival that will result in a reformed, revitalized, purified church. Each generation of Christians is the seed of the next, and degenerate seed is sure to produce a degenerate harvest.

I can trust the One who has my best interest in mind.

A true leader will have no desire to lord it over God’s heritage. He is rather ready to follow as well as lead.

Men may flee from the sunlight to dark and musty caves of the earth, but they cannot put out the sun. So men may in any dispensation despise the grace of God, but they cannot extinguish it.

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?
