Prayer is a weapon, a mighty weapon in a terrible conflict. Our prayers are to be a continual, conscious, earnest effort of battle, the battle against whatever is not God's will.

The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.

It is not in our choice to spread the gospel or not. It is our death if we do not.

Prayer is never rejected so long as we do not cease to pray. The chief failure of prayer is its cessation.

If within us we find nothing over us we succumb to what is around us.

Our great need is not ardour to save man but courage to face God - courage to face God with our soul as it is, and with our Saviour as He is; to face God always thus, and so to win the power which saves and services man more than any other power can. We can never fully say "My brother!" till we have heartily said "My God!", and we can never heartily say "My God!" till we have humbly said "My Guilt!" That is the root of moral reality, of personal religion.

The Living God alone can make us living men; the mighty God alone can make us mighty men; the loving God alone can make us consecrated men.
