Use, therefore, to eat and to drink, rather to sustain and refresh the weakness of nature, than to satisfy the sensuality and delights of the fles h. Eat,therefore, to live, but live not to eat. Lewis Bayly 1575-1631
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
A church, if long without a revival, becomes like the earth when it has been long without rain. When the earth has become very dry it repels the rain. The clouds heavily charged with water stand over it for days without pouring their contents. What is the reason? The want of attraction in the earth. The clouds of God's promises stand over the church fully charged with the rain of divine influence. How is it there is no outpouring? Because there is no attraction in Zion, the united heart and prayer of faith are wanting. William Williams of Wern 1781-1840
