Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.

The human race doesn't need more books telling them what to do. They need the power to do what they already know.

The greatness of prayer is nothing but an extension of the greatness and glory of God in our lives To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule - it is a failure to treat God as God. It is a sin against his glory

A life of gratitude to God for being saved is far more pleasing than a life based on self-righteousness over being good.

Unless we believe the gospel, we will be driven in all we do-whether obeying or disobeying-by pride ('self-love') or fear ('of damnation'). Apart from 'grateful remembering' of the gospel, all good works are done then for sinful motives. Mere moral effort may restrain the heart, but does not truly change the heart. Moral effort merely 'jury rigs' the evil of the heart to produce moral behavior out of self-interest. It is only a matter of time before such a thin tissue collapses.

God loves you just because He loves you.

We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers; we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.
