One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.

Grace is power, not just pardon.

Whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.

Anger devours almost all other good emotions. It deadens the soul. It numbs the heart to joy and gratitude and hope and tenderness and compassion and kindness.

The purpose of the Lord's Supper is to receive from Christ the nourishment and strength and hope and joy that come from feasting our souls on all that He purchased for us on the cross, especially His own fellowship.

Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.

Nothing is more vital than prayer in Christian existence, and few things are more vulnerable to neglect.
