Image
Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.

Image
When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful no more, no less.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
If we know how to pray, we know how to live.

If you find something that gets hold of you in the Word, pass it on to somebody that very day.

When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing - so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.

Image
In the prayer time, the battle of the spiritual life is lost or won.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Your powers are dead or dedicated. If they are dedicated, they are alive with God and tingle with surprising power. If they are saved up, taken care of for their own ends, they are dead.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

Everybody who belongs to Christ belongs to everybody who belongs to Christ

Image
The God I find in Christ is a God who overcomes evil with good, hate by love, and the world by a cross.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.

There are two ways to be rich - one in the abundance of your possessions and the other in the fewness of your wants.

Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian.
