Prayer strikes the winning blow; service is simply picking up the pieces.

If we lose the spirit of 'go,' we have lost the very Christian spirit itself. A disobedient church will become a dead church. It will die of heart failure.

You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

Prayer is partnership with God in His planet-sized purposes, and includes the "all things" beside, as an important detail of the whole.

No man's hand has ever yet reached up to take as much as the Pierced Hand is reaching down to give.

The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer, nor those who say they believe in prayer, nor yet those who can explain about prayer; but I mean these people who take time and pray. They have not time. It must be taken from something else. This something else is important, very important, and pressing, but still less important and less pressing than prayer. There are people that put prayer first, and group the other items in life's schedule around and after prayer.

The way from God to a human heart is through a human heart.
