“It is not so true that ‘Prayer changes things’ as that prayer changes us, and then we change things. Consequently we must not ask God to do what He has created us to do. For instance, Jesus Christ is not a social reformer; He came to alter us first, and if there is any social reform to be done on earth, we must do it.”

“Jesus prayed that you might be one with the age that as He is; are you helping His answer His prayer, or have you another end for your life?”
