“It is all right when God sends us the approval of our fellow men; however, we must never make that approval a motive in our life.”

Pray, always pray; beneath sins heaviest load, Prayer claims the blood from Jesus’ side that flowed. Pray, always pray; though weary, faint, and lone, Prayer nestles by the Father’s sheltering throne.

One of the first signs of a Spirit-filled life is enthusiasm!

As long as you want anything very much, especially more than you want God, it is an idol.

Pray, always pray; when sickness wastes thy frame, Prayer brings the healing power of Jesus’ name.

Fear is born of Satan, and if we would only take time to think a moment we would see that everything Satan says is founded upon a falsehood.

Forget yourself and live for others, for It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Prayer is the mighty engine that is to move the missionary work.

When I write, there are times — not always — when I hear John (Lennon) in my head, I’ll think, OK, what would we have done here?, and I can hear him gripe or approve.
