It is obvious that Paul did not regard prayer as supplemental, but as fundamental-not something to be added to his work but the very matrix out of which his work was born. He was a man of action because he was a man of prayer. It was probably his prayer even more than his preaching that produced the kind of leaders we meet in his letters.

Most men are notable for one conspicuous virtue or grace - Moses for meekness, Job for patience, John for love. But, in Jesus you find everything.

Faith enables the believing soul to treat the future as present and the invisible as seen.

True leadership is found in giving yourself in service to others, not in coaxing or inducing others to serve you.

There is no conceivable situation in which it is not safe to trust God.
