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!

Faith that is going to be trusted is going to be tested.

Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy

If Thou canst do something with us and through us, then please, God, do something without us! Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not!

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.

The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.

Prayer is no substitute for work; equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.
