The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.
Most Christians pray to be blessed. Few pray to be broken.
