Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?

To be much for God, we must be much with God. Jesus, that lone figure in the wilderness, knew strong crying, along with tears. Can one be moved with compassion and not know tears? Jeremiah was a sobbing saint. Jesus wept! So did Paul. So did John. Though there are some tearful intercessors behind the scenes, I grant you that to our modern Christianity, praying is foreign.

If we displease God, does it matter whom we please? If we please Him, does it matter whom we displease?

You know, we live in a day when we are more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness.

How do you learn to pray? Well how do you learn to swim? Do you sit in a chair with your feet up drinking coke learning to swim? You get down and you struggle. That's how you learn to pray.

Prayer is not an argument with God to persuade him to move things our way, but an exercise by which we are enabled by his Spirit to move ourselves his way.

No man - I don't care how colossal his intellect - No man is greater than his prayer life.
