More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds

Image
Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Natural ability and educational advantages do not figure as factors in this matter of prayer but a capacity for faith, the power of a thorough consecration, the ability of self-littleness, an absolute losing of one's self in God's glory and an ever present and insatiable yearning and seeking after all the fullness of God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.

Edward McKendree Bounds
Image

Edward McKendree Bounds

Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Safety is in Heaven. Put your values there only put your heart there. No tears are there to flood your heart, no sorrows there to break it, no losses there to grieve and embitter.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.
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
Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it. Painstaking care, much thought, practice and labour are required to be a skillful tradesman in praying. Practice in this, as well as in all other trades, makes perfect.
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
God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.

Image
A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.
