I have prayed for new men, fiery, reckless men, possessed of uncontrollably youthful passion-these lit by the Spirit of God. I have prayed for new words, explosive, direct, simple words. I have prayed for new miracles. Explaining old miracles will not do. If God is to be known as the God who does wonders in heaven and earth, then God must produce for this generation. Lord, fill preachers and preaching with Thy power. How long dare we go on without tears, without moral passions, hatred and love? Not long, I pray, Lord Jesus, not long.

Be on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!

Missionaries are very human folks, simply a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt somebody.

What good are Greek, commentaries, insight, gift, and all the rest, if there is no heart for Christ?

He is no fool who parts with that which he cannot keep, when he is sure to be recompensed with that which he cannot lose.

Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or another on facing Christ in me.

That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
