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.

Image
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

Image
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.

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.

Image
Where sin has abounded in me, Grace now much more abounds in me. I live by that 'much more.'

Image
An individual gospel without a social gospel is a soul without a body and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. One is a ghost, the other a corpse.

Image
When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent.

Image
The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions and the reactions are just as important as the actions.

Image
Very often when I haven't faith in my faith, I have to have faith in His faith. He makes me believe in myself and my possibilities, when I simply can't. I have to rise to His faith in me.

The God I find in Christ is a God who overcomes evil with good, hate by love, and the world by a cross.
