There Is Only One Way To Bring

There Is No Joy In The World Like The Joy Of Bringing One Soul To Christ.

So Often We Have A Kind Of Vague, Wistful Longing That The Promises Of Jesus Should Be True. The Only Way Really To Enter Into Them Is To Believe Them With The Clutching Intensity Of A Drowning Man.

It May Be That One Of Our Great Faults In Prayer Is That We Talk Too Much And Listen Too Little. When Prayer Is At Its Highest We Wait In Silence For God's Voice To Us; We Linger In His Presence For His Peace And His Power To Flow Over Us And Around Us; We Lean Back In His Everlasting Arms And Feel The Serenity Of Perfect Security In Him.

Prayer Is Not A Way Of Making Use Of God; Prayer Is A Way Of Offering Ourselves To God In Order That He Should Be Able To Make Use Of Us.

It May Well Be A Sign Of The Decadence Of The Church And The Failure Of Christianity That Gifts Have To Be Coaxed Out Of People, And That Often They Will Not Give At All Unless They Get Something For Their Money In The Way Of Entertainment Or Of Goods. Giving Which Is Real Giving Has A Certain Recklessness In It.
