(Phillip Brooks) Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance; it is laying hold of His highest willingness

(Wiersbe) Persistence in prayer is not an attempt to change God's mind but to get ourselves to the place where God can trust us with His answer

(Wiersbe) Because God loves us and knows us, we never need to be afraid of the answers He gives us

(Wiersbe outline of Luke 11:1-12) The priority of, the pattern of, the persistence of, and the promises of prayer

(Wiersbe) It is impossible to be neutral in the spiritual war for neutrality means standing against Him. We must make a choice, and if we choose to make no choice, we are really choosing against Him

(Oswald Chambers) Neutrality in religion is always cowardice

(Wiersbe) Each of us is controlled either by light or darkness

(Wiersbe) Reputation is what people think you are;character is what God knows you are

(Wiersbe) What a tragedy when "ministers" of God's Word create more problems for people who already have problems enough. A pastor friend of mine prays daily. "Lord, help me today not to add to anybody's problems

(Wiersbe) Unfortunately, what some people call " Bible study" is too often just a group of unprepared people exchanging their ignorance

(Wiersbe) Hypocrites do not want their sins exposed;it hurts their reputations
