Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them. How many times have you stood and sang, “Take my life and let it be” when you haven't given Him one ounce?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?

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

Praying men stop sinning and sinning men stop praying.

The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.
