The invasion of the Church by the world is a menace to the extension of Christ's Kingdom. In all ages conformity to the world by Christians has resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent lack of spiritual vision and enterprise. A secularized or self-centered Church can never evangelize the world.

You ask me, How much time? I do not know. I know it means time enough to forget time.

The reason why we fail to prevail with unconverted men is due to our more fundamental failure to prevail with God in prayer.

The history of missions is a history of prayer. Everything vital to the success of the world's evangelization hinges on prayer.

No other generation but ours can evangelize the present generation.

If added power attends the united prayer of two or three, what mighty triumphs there will be when hundreds of thousands of consistent members of the Church are with one accord day by day making intercession for the extension of Christ's Kingdom.

The men that will change the colleges and seminaries here represented are the men that will spend the most time alone with God... It takes time for the fires to burn. It takes time for God to draw near and for us to know that He is there. It takes time to assimilate His truth.
