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.

Satan fools and feigns, blows and bluffs, and we so often take his threats to heart and forget the exceeding greatness of God's power to us.

Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.

The tragedy in our colleges and seminaries right now is that we turn men out who know the word of God. That is never going to turn the world. The question is not whether they know the Word of God.... The question is......Do they know the God of the Word?

Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

Faith that is going to be trusted is going to be tested.

The world has lost the power to blush over its vice the Church has lost her power to weep over it.
