The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.

A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.

Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.

I wish, in America, (that) we were as concerned about separation from church and sin as we are about separation between church and state. Church and sin-- it's a monstrous problem.

I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.

Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He shows Himself.

If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.
