God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.
Edward McKendree BoundsPreaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows.
Edward McKendree BoundsIt is only when the whole heart is gripped with the passion of prayer that the life-giving fire descends, for none but the earnest man gets access to the ear of God.
Edward McKendree BoundsPrayer is our most formidable weapon, the thing which makes all else we do efficient.
