"You must pray with all your might. That does not mean saying your prayers, or
sitting gazing about in church or chapel with eyes wide open while someone else
says them for you. It means fervent,
effectual, untiring wrestling with God...This kind of prayer be sure the devil
and the world and your own indolent, unbelieving nature will oppose. They will pour water on this flame." - William Booth
No single church can possibly reach everyone. It takes all
kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people.
"Revival is the recognition of the ministry of
insignificant members of the body, and deliverance from idol worship of the
more prominent members who are in the limelight." – James A. Stewart
"Revival and change are almost synonymous terms and both
clearly cut across traditionalism. There is no way true revival can occur
without major changes disrupting and reordering the life of the Church... God
is no traditionalist. While God is orderly, He is always fresh and vital. If a
church can run according to forms and traditions of men, it will run without
the presence and power of God ... Is it any wonder the love of tradition is an
enemy to revival? Revival and new life go hand in hand ... Let every church
realize that the inordinate love of tradition is a great opponent to revival
... When a church slays the love of tradition, a major obstacle to revival will
be slain With it." – Richard Owen
