“O Lord our God, we again come into your holy presence and humble ourselves before you. Lord God, awaken us out of our intellectual laziness and lethargy, our slowness and dullness of heart and of spirit. O God, awaken us and arouse us, and warm our hearts by the flame of your Holy Spirit. Make of us a people who know that we belong to a risen and a victorious Lord who shall reign from pole to pole and conquer his every enemy. Hear us, O Lord, for his blessed name’s sake. Amen.”

“My dear friends, here is the great need of the hour. It is not merely that we should perpetuate a denomination or an organization or an institution. No, no! It is for Christians to become the living church of Christ, filled with his life and power, charged with the energy of the Spirit divine, and standing as a phenomenon in this modern, evil world. The world needs a church that points to the way of salvation and enables men and women to see that what has happened to us can likewise happen to them.”
