A Theologian has nothing on a man who has experienced God.

The history of God’s specific movements with the Church is not the history of His adding something, but of His bringing back to the primal fullness with which He filled His Son.

It was not John Hyde: it was the Holy Spirit of God whom one consecrated man, filled with that Spirit, brought down upon all around him. May we not all become “Praying Hydes”?

The one concern of the devil is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

Is it too much to expect our God to do ‘exceedingly abundantly above?’ Can we put a strain on Omnipotence; can we exhaust infinite Love?

My friend, you don’t get anywhere until you begin to realize that the flesh profiteth nothing and that we do not go into training in order that we may be perfected to do His work. But if we get the right kind of teaching when we’re there, we go into training to be told that we by ourselves are absolutely helpless without the power of God coming upon us.

My dear brethren, do not try to make [the gospel] tasteful to carnal minds. Hide not the offense of the cross, lest you make it of none effect. The angles and corners of the gospel are its strength: to pare them off is to deprive it of power. Toning down is not the increase of strength, but the death of it … Learn, then, that if you take Christ out of Christianity, Christianity is dead.

It is not great talents nor great learning nor great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God – men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it. These can mold a generation for God.

Is the Gospel really dynamite, or does it need all sorts of human institutions and money? Much of the work we have done in the name of Jesus Christ has been, not to perform miracles of the Holy Ghost, but miracles of gold.
