More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds

Image
Christianity is not rationalism, but faith in Gods revelation. A conspicuous, all-important item in that revelation is the resurrection of the body.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer and a holy life are one. They mutually act and react. Neither can survive alone. The absence of the one is the absence of the other.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.

Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
God is waiting to be put to the test by His people in prayer. He delights in being put to the test on His promises. It is His highest pleasure to answer prayer, to prove the reliability of His promises.

Image
By prayer, the ability is secured to feel the law of love, to speak according to the law of love, and to do everything in harmony with the law of love.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Apostolic preaching cannot be carried on unless there be apostolic prayer. Men of God, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth.

Image
God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer is the highest intelligence, the profoundest wisdom, the most vital, the most joyous, the most efficacious, the most powerful of all vocations.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was necessary to establish the truth of his mission and put the stamp of all-conquering power on his gospel.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character and have most powerfully affected the world for Him have been men who spend so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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.
