“Christianity today is so subnormal that if any Christian began to act like a normal New Testament Christian, he would be considered abnormal”

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”

“The opportunity of a lifetime needs to be seized during the lifetime of the opportunity.”

“A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man.”

“If we had more sleepless nights in prayer, there would be fewer souls to have a sleepless eternal night in hell.”

“A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.”
