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
Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's. . .grace and power.
R. A. Torrey
Image
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little many services but few conversions much machinery but few results.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Ninety-nine Christians in every hundred are merely playing at Bible study and therefore ninety-nine Christians in every hundred are mere weaklings, when they might be giants, both in their Christian life and in their service.
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

All that God is, and all that God has, are at the disposal of player. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent.

Tell me your doctrine of the Fall and I will tell you the state of your theology.
R. A. Torrey
Image
It is of the highest importance from the standpoint of experience that we know the Holy Spirit as a person.
R. A. Torrey
Image
If you make a great deal of Christ, He will make a great deal of you but if you make but a little of Christ, Christ will make but a little of you.
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
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
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.
R. A. Torrey
Image
I would rather win souls than be the greatest king or emperor on earth I would rather win souls than be the greatest general that ever commanded an army I would rather win souls than be the greatest poet, or novelist, or literary man who ever walked the earth. My one ambition in life is to win as many as possible.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Oh, men and women, pray through pray through! Do not just begin to pray and pray a little while and throw up your hands and quit but pray and pray and pray until God bends the heavens and comes down.
R. A. Torrey
Image
The best book in the world to put into the hands of one who desires to know about Jesus and to be saved is the gospel of John.

The one who is truly born again will love the Word of God.
