—Hebrews 5:8 “Son though he was, Jesus learned obedience from what he suffered”

–CT Studd “We Christians too often substitute prayer for playing the game. Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism.”

—AW Tozer “Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late—and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our
- trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop
using it as a substitute for obedience.”

–CS Lewis “You do not fail in obedience through a lack of love, but have lost love through a lack of
- bedience.”
