“Disobedient living produces extremely poor praying. No man can pray – really pray – who does not obey”
“If we want to pray well and get the most of our praying, we must look at our obedience. This brings us closer to God. Disobedient living produces extremely poor praying. No man can pray – really pray – who does not obey. Our will must be surrendered to God as a primary condition to all successful praying. Everything about us receives its coloring from our innermost character. Our will determines our character and controls our conduct.”
– E.M. Bounds
“A faith that does not result in activity of any kind is a dead faith; it is empty, worthless, insincere.” – Derek Prince
“Love is the highest expression of truth – It is in these days where the “foolishness of God” (in the eyes of men) is to flourish. Light in the midst of the darkness is the great cross of our day…”
Brian Troxel
“Pride is a barrier to all spiritual progress.”
Harry Ironside
“The causes of retarded spiritual progress are many. It would not be accurate to ascribe to one single fault. One there is, however, which is so universal that it may easily be the main cause: failure to give time to the cultivation of the knowledge of God! The temptation to make our relation to God judicial instead of personal is very strong“
