Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.

Persistent calling upon the name of the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times there is simply no other way.

No matter what I preach or what we claim to believe in our heads, the future will depend upon our times of prayer.

I discovered an astonishing truth: God is attracted to weakness. He cannot resist those who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need him.

He (God) is not looking for smart people, because He is the smart one. All he wants are people simple enough to trust him.

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.

By not forgiving, by not letting wrongs go, we aren't getting back at anyone. We are merely punishing ourselves by barricading our own hearts.

The birth of the church was during a prayer meeting, not preaching, not singing, but prayer.

God is more powerful than anybody's past, no matter how wretched. He can make us forget - not by erasing the memory but by taking the sting and paralyzing effect out of it

Your future and mine are determined by this one thing: seeking after the Lord.

What does it say about our churches today that God birthed the church in a prayer meeting, and prayer meetings today are almost extinct?

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?

But doing what I do, you will never get unanimity of people.

God is the only way you're going to make it in life, the glue that holds everything together.

God created women beautiful - so that men can love them - and stupid - so that they can love men.

If I can make it, you can make it.

I don't actually listen to much music since I need quiet to work.

Peace is the precious fruit of a righteous life. It is possible because of the Atonement of the Savior. It is earned through full repentance, for that leads to refreshing forgiveness.

Don't share your fantasies unless you're sure your partner really wants to hear them.

I want to leave behind me the name of a fellow who never bullied a little boy, or turned his back on a big one.
