Whenever GOD determines to do a great work, HE first sets HIS people to pray.

When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we "pretend" that we are seeking.

So long as we are receivers of mercy, we must be givers of thanks.

Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.

I am certain that to preach the wrath of God with a hard heart, a cold lip, a tearless eye, and an unfeeling spirit is to harden men, not benefit them.

Have your heart right with Christ, and he will visit you often, and so turn weekdays into Sundays, meals into sacraments, homes into temples, and earth into heaven.

If I knew I had 25 years left to live, I would spend 20 of them in preparation.
