More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God
Edward McKendree Bounds
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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
Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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
Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying gives sense, brings wisdom, broadens and strengthens the mind. The closet is a perfect school-teacher and schoolhouse for the preacher. Thought is not only brightened and clarified in prayer, but thought is born in prayer. We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours in the study.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The Scriptures bear ample and continuous evidence that the faith of the resurrection of the body lies in the faith that Jesus Christ died and rose again.
Edward McKendree Bounds
A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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
Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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.
