We pray Thee, O Christ, to keep us under the spell of immortality. My we never again think and act as if Thou were dead. Let us more and more come to know Thee as a living Lord who hath promised to them that believe: "Because I live, ye shall live also." Help us to remember that we are praying to the Conqueror of Death, that we may no longer be afraid nor dismayed by the world's problems and threats, since Thou hast overcome the world. In Thy strong name, we ask for Thy living presence and Thy victorious power. Amen.

Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work.

The use of the right word, the exact word, is the difference between a pencil with a sharp point and a thick crayon.

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

Let us not fool ourselves - without Christianity, without Christian education, without the principles of Christ inculcated into young life, we are simply rearing pagans.

Unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
