God's willingness to answer our prayers exceeds our willingness to give good and necessary things to our children, just as far as God's ability, goodness and perfection exceed our infirmities and evil.
Prayer, in one phase of its operation, is a disinfectant and a preventive. It purifies the air; it destroys the contagion of evil.
The prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.
Preaching is God's great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold. When wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results.
God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil
