The prayer meeting is the pulse of the church. If the pulse beat strong and regular it indicates a strong and healthy constitution but if feeble and irregular, it is a sign of ill health and weakness. When the constitution of the church gets healthy and strong, the prayer meeting will be thought much more of than our anniversaries.
William Williams of Wern 1781-1840

When a man is speaking to God, he is at his very acme. It is the highest activity of the human soul, and therefore it is at the same time the ultimate test of a man’s true spiritual condition. There is nothing that tells the truth about us as Christian people so much as our prayer life. Everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer. Dr D Martyn Lloyd-Jones 1899-1981

How vast the difference between Messiah's first and second advents! When he “tabernacled and dwelt among us,” he appeared “in the form of a servant;" but when he shall come again, he shall come as a judge, and “ sit upon the throne of his glory;" and “all that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life ; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” Christmas Evans 1766-1838

Let it be our daily concern and prayer, to have a more full and lively persuasion of those truths, with which we are acquainted. Though we should be concerned to grow in the extent of our faith, because nothing, which God hath seen fit to reveal, is without its use one way or another, at one time or another, in the Christian life: yet I take it to be of more consequence of the two, to have our faith to grow intensively, though it should not take so wide a compass. He is the better scholar, and like to make more profitable use of his learning, who hath carefully and well digested a few books in comparison; than he, that hath cursorily run over a far greater number: so a Christian, of smaller attainments in knowledge, if he hath but a firm and lively faith in the fewer principles of religion with which his mind is furnished, will far exceed a more knowing Christian, who gives but a weak assent to his larger store of divine truths. John Evans 1680-1730
