The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost.

Hurry is the death of Prayer.

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

Satan laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

Confusion and impotence are the inevitable results when the wisdom and resources of the world are substituted for the presence and power of the Spirit.

The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power. Destitute of the Fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing Fire, nothing else matters.

The Church is the Body of Christ, and the Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. He fills the Body, directs its movements, controls its members, inspires its wisdom, supplies it's strength. He guides into truth, sanctifies its agents, and empowers for witnessing. The Spirit has never abdicated His authority nor relegated His power.
