“The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer, nor those who say they believe in prayer, nor yet those who can explain about prayer; but I mean these people who take time and pray. They have not time. It must be taken from something else. This something else is important, very important, and pressing, but still less important and less pressing than prayer. There are people that put prayer first, and group the other items in life's schedule around and after prayer.”
-- S. D Gordon -
“The men who seem to know most of God's power have had great, unspeakable longings, at times, for a fresh consciousness of that power.”

-- S. D Gordon -

-- S. D Gordon -
