Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
Edward McKendree BoundsPrayer and a holy life are one. They mutually act and react. Neither can survive alone. The absence of the one is the absence of the other.
Edward McKendree BoundsNo insistence in the Scripture is more pressing than that we must pray...How clear it is, when the Bible is consulted, that the almighty God is brought directly into the things of this world by the prayers of His people.
Edward McKendree BoundsPrayer is far-reaching in its influence and worldwide in its effects. It affects all men, affects them everywhere, and affects them in all things. It touches man's interest in time and eternity. It lays hold upon God and moves Him to interfere in the affairs of earth. It moves the angels to minister to men in this life. It restrains and defeats the devil in his schemes to ruin man. Prayer goes everywhere and lays its hand upon everything.
