“E. M. Bounds, who said: What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men [and women] whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods but through men. He does not come on machinery but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men—men of prayer.”

“What is our call? Faithful endurance. What does it look like? It looks like confession of sin and violently putting sin to death in our lives. To fight is to confess, to repent, to fill our lives with worship and prayer, and it looks like hospitality. It looks like dining room tables with people who are different from us sitting around them so that we might show them the love of God that we’ve received as His people. These things must be woven into the makeup of our lives.”

“The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.”
