Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
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.
