"Gospel preachers nowadays preach the gospel of the Crucifixion, the Apostles preached the gospel of the Resurrection as well. The Crucifixion loses its meaning without the Resurrection. Without the Resurrection the death of Christ was only the heroic death of a noble martyr; with the Resurrection it is the atoning death the Son of God. It shows that death to be of sufficient value to cover our sins, for it was the sacrifice of the Son of God."

Just as one gets the firstfruits of spiritual salvation in the life that now is, so we get the firstfruits of our physical salvation in the life that now is.

The chief purpose of prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer.

Every true revival from that day to this has had its earthly origin in prayer.

To win men to acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord is the only reason Christians are left in this world.

Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's. . .grace and power.

Prayer will promote our personal holiness as nothing else, except the study of the Word of God.
