Prayer is the hard-work business of Christianity, and it nets amazing results.

If you are a Christian, your search for approval should be over.

The Lord intends us to be powerful people-mighty in optimism and hopeful of spirit, powerful in evangelistic zeal, potent in influence, sturdy in moral fiber and purity. We can be powerhouses in prayer and preaching.

Confession basically means saying the same thing about your sin as God says. So if you say you want to develop integrity, but you're not willing to face the rough parts and confess them, you won't get there.

If Jesus can live in you and you are no different than the world around you, something got short circuited because Jesus makes a difference.

When I put God first, God takes care of me and energizes me to do what really needs to be done.

Prayer is the way you defeat the devil, reach the lost, restore a backslider, strengthen the saints, send missionaries out, cure the sick, accomplish the impossible, and know the will of God.
