The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly; sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.

Today's church wants to be raptured from responsibility.

The surest thing in the world is not death and taxes, it's death and eternity. Yet, we're so unconcerned.

Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying; theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken; when they had prayed, the place was shaken!

Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.

If Jesus came back today, he wouldn’t cleanse the temple, he’d cleanse the pulpit.

I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.
