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.

One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.

Why do we expect to be better treated in this world than Jesus was?

A popular evangelist reaches your emotions. A true prophet reaches your conscience.

A sinning man stops praying; a praying man stops sinning.

We don't preach salvation. We preach forgiveness.

We have substituted organizing for agonizing and equipment for endowment.
