If we would pray aright, the first thing we should do is to see to it that we really get an audience with God, that we really get into His very presence.

R. A. TorreyFor eighteen centuries every engine of destruction that human science, philosophy, wit, reasoning or brutality could bring to bear against a book has been brought to bear against that book to stamp it out of the world, but it has a mightier hold on the world today than ever before. If that were man's book it would have been annihilated and forgotten hundreds of years ago.
