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.

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

The real victory in all service is won in secret beforehand by prayer.

If there are two persons praying, there are three. If three meet to pray, there are four praying. There is always one more than you can see.

Prayer does not influence God. Prayer surely does influence God. It does not influence His purpose. It does influence His action.

It takes power for the man of God in the pulpit to speak plainly about particular sins before the faces of those who are living in them; and still more power to do it with the rare tactfulness and tenderness of the Galilean preacher.

Faith is blind...to impossibilities and deaf to doubt. It listens only to God.
