Charles Spurgeon “Every real teacher’s power must
come from on high. If you never enter your closet and shut the door, if you never plead at the mercy seat for your child, how can you expect that God will honor you in its conversion?”

Stanley Grenz “Moral revival in a nation begins
with the willingness of God’s people to seek the face of God in prayer. God is the author of renewal, but in this task God wills the cooperation of human instruments, especially in prayer.”

Dick Gruber “This aspect of ministerial life is
more important than learning to operate a puppet or give an altar call.”

where we have led them.” “When leaders are no longer willing
to dream, it is only a matter of time before followers are unwilling to follow. So dream! Dream big. Dream often.”
