Quotes Featured

"Words are not the essence but the garments of prayer." - Charles Spurgeon

"In the morning. This is the fittest time for intercourse with God. An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. While the dew is on the grass, let grace drop upon the soul. Let us give to God the mornings of our days and the morning of our lives. Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night. Devotion should be both the morning star and the evening star." - Charles Spurgeon

This Week's Challenge
