No Man is Greater Than His Prayer Life – Leonard Ravenhill
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing. The people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers. Many players and payers, few pray-ers. Many singers, few clingers. Lots of pastors, few wrestlers. Many fears, few tears. Much fashion, little passion. Many interferes, few intercession. Many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.
