The chief purpose of prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer.
R. A. Torrey
Image
God has not changed and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save as it ever was.
R. A. Torrey
Image
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power.
R. A. Torrey
Image
When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.
R. A. Torrey
Image
When the perceptive child of God stops to weigh the meaning of these words, then notes the connection in which they are found, he or she is driven to say, I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray.

Every Christian who does not study, really study, the Bible every day is a fool.

Tell me your doctrine of the Fall and I will tell you the state of your theology.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Do not study commentaries, lesson helps or other books about the Bible: study the Bible itself. Do not study about the Bible, study the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, and only the Bible is the Word of God.
R. A. Torrey
Image
We must always bear in mind that the primary purpose of our work is not to get people to join a church, to give up their bad habits, or to do anything other than to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Every true revival from that day to this has had its earthly origin in prayer.
R. A. Torrey
Image
The one who is truly born again will love the Word of God.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Cultivate prompt, exact, unquestioning, joyous obedience to every command that it is evident from its context applies to you. Be on the lookout for new orders from your King. Blessing lies in the direction of obedience to them. God's commands are but signboards that mark the road to present success and blessedness and to eternal glory.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's. . .grace and power.
R. A. Torrey
Image
If loving God with all our heart and soul and might is the greatest commandment, then it follows that not loving Him that way is the greatest sin.
R. A. Torrey
Image
There must be, in any complete revelation of God's mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand and the wisest and best of us are but beginners.
R. A. Torrey
Image
The truly wise man is he who always believes the Bible against the opinions of any man.

Image
I would rather go to heaven alone than go to hell in company.
R. A. Torrey

It is of the highest importance from the standpoint of experience that we know the Holy Spirit as a person.
R. A. Torrey
Image
The Devil is perfectly willing that the church should multiply its organizations and its deftly contrived machinery for the conquest of the world for Christ, if it will only give up praying...The Devil is not afraid of machinery he is only afraid of God. And machinery without prayer is machinery without God.
