Unless the Spirit of God is with us, we cannot expect that our prayers will be answered.

The man that is popular with the world is not a friend of Jesus. You cannot serve two masters. The world hates Christ, and if you are a friend of the world you cannot be a friend of His. You may be sure that something is wrong with you when everybody is your friend.

Faith is an outward look, not an inward look.
