The Lever

Quote: Spurgeon, Morning and Evening -February 21, Evening

“Thoughts and reasonings are like the steel wedges which give a hold upon truth; but prayer is the lever, the prize which forces open the iron chest of sacred mystery, that we may get the treasure hidden within.”

Our True Work

Quote: Andrew Murray, Absolute Surrender pg. 108

“Many laborers in the vineyard have complained that they have too much work and no time for close communion with Jesus, that their usual work weakens their inclination for prayer, and that their too much interaction with men darkens the spiritual life. Sad thought, that the bearing of fruit should separate the branch from the vine! That must be because we have looked upon our work as something other than the branch bearing fruit.”

True Praying

Quote Power Through Prayer by E.M. Bounds

“Praying- true praying- costs and outlay of serious attention and time, which flesh and blood do not relish. Few people are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when inferior work will pass just as well in the market.”

In View

Quote by John Newton

By various maxims, forms and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I sought my passions to restrain: But all my efforts proved in vain. But since my Savior I have known My rules are reduced to One, To Keep my Lord by faith in view, This strength supplies and motive too.

Nothing empowers a man like an opinion... Nothing frustrates a man more than reason.
