Preaching is God's great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold. When wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results.

The sanctity of prayer is needed to impregnate business. We need the spirit of Sunday carried over to Monday and continued until Saturday. But this cannot be done by prayerless men, but by men of prayer.

The men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character and have most powerfully affected the world for Him have been men who spend so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives.

Prayer is our most formidable weapon, the thing which makes all else we do efficient.

The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.

The pride of learning is against the dependent humility of prayer.

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.
