Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken when they had prayed, the place was shaken!

If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tell you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.

Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.

You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

The church as we know it today seems a million miles from the New Testament church. That may be a great generalization, but I will stand on it. There is a gulf between our average Christianity and the church of New Testament that makes the Grand Canyon look like a cavity in someone's tooth.

This much is sure in all churches, forgetting party labels the smallest meeting numerically is the prayer-meeting. If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.

I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.

Love is blind. Marriage is an eye-opener.

Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.
