I prayed fifteen years for the conversion of my oldest brother. When he seemed to be getting further and further away from any hope of conversion, I prayed on.

God has not changed; and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save; as it ever was.

Prayer that is born of meditation upon the Word of God is the prayer that soars upward most easily to God's listening ears.

Triumphant prayer is almost impossible where there is neglect of the study of the Word of God.

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

Cultivate prompt, exact, unquestioning, joyous obedience to every command that it is evident from its context applies to you. Be on the lookout for new orders from your King. Blessing lies in the direction of obedience to them. God's commands are but signboards that mark the road to present success and blessedness and to eternal glory.

We are not saved by denying self, or taking up our cross, or doing anything else, we are saved by simply believing in Jesus.
