The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayer-less religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

It takes us long to learn that prayer is more important than organization, more powerful than armies, more influential than wealth and mightier than all learning.

Communion is deeper than theology.

It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.

Nothing would turn the nation back to God so surely and so quickly as a Church that prayed and prevailed. The world will never believe in a religion in which there is no supernatural power. A rationalized faith, a socialized Church and a moralized gospel may gain applause, but they awaken no conviction and win no converts.

Brethren, the crying sin of the church is her laziness after God.

The prayer that prevails is not the work of lips and fingertips. It is the cry of a broken heart and the travail of a stricken soul.
