Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

One thing and one thing alone keeps us from complete decay in this hour - the church, the true Church.

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

Christ has not conquered my affections if He has to compete for my attention.
