If we would have God in the closet, God must have us out of the closet. There is no way of praying to God, but by living to God.

More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds

Love is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes. It feeds on fire it can withstand anything rather than a feeble flame but when the surrounding atmosphere is frigid or lukewarm, it dies, chilled and starved to its vitals. True prayer must be aflame.

Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
