Christianity is not rationalism, but faith in Gods revelation. A conspicuous, all-important item in that revelation is the resurrection of the body.

Image
God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.

Image
The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.

Image
That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows.

Prayer is the one prime, eternal condition by which the Father is pledged to put the Son in possession of the world. Christ prays through His people. Had there been importunate, universal, and continuous prayer by God's people, long ere this the earth had been possessed for Christ.

Image
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.

Image
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.

Image
He who would pray, must obey.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire no prayer without flame.

Image
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
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.

Image
Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.

Image
The soul which has come into intimate contact with God in the silence of the prayer chamber is never out of conscious touch with the Father the heart is always going out to Him in loving communion, and the moment the mind is released from the task upon which it is engaged, it returns as naturally to God as the bird does to its nest.

Image
We regard prayer no longer as a duty which must be performed, but rather as a privilege which is to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new beauty.

The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.
