I look upon prayer-meetings as the most profitable exercises (excepting the public preaching) in which Christians can engage.

The missionary question is not, 'Where are there unbelievers?' and then send a missionary there. There are unbelievers everywhere!

A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian.

God is ready to give more quickly, and to give more than you ask; yea, he offers his treasures if we only take them.
