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.

We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.

No faith is required to do the possible actually only a morsel of this atom-powered stuff is needed to do the impossible, for a piece as large as a mustard seed will do more than we have ever dreamed of.

The only vision (many) of you have is television.

At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!

Let the fires go out in the boiler room of the church and the place will still look smart and clean, but it will be cold. The Prayer Room is the boiler room for its spiritual life.

If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.

Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?
