When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful; no more, no less.

When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.

The universe does not make sense without God.

The moral laws of the Universe are deeply embedded in the constitution of things. We do not break them - we break ourselves upon them.

To talk with God, no breath is lost. Talk on! To walk with God, no strength is lost. Walk on! To wait on God, no time is lost. Wait on!

Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature - the urge to love and be loved - must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.
