Continuing on with A.B. Simpson (Record of Christian Work, Vol. 40 – 1921).
“The last thing in Paul’s watchword was work: Not “I dream,” “I purpose,” or even “I will do,” but “I do.” Paul gave no countenance to that abuse of God’s rich grace which encourages easy indolence and the kind of rest that does nothing because God will do all.” (p. 625)
“All Christian unity depends upon oneness with the Lord. The secret of Christian union is not platforms, creeds, or even cooperative work, but it is one life, one heart, one spirit, in the fellowship and love of Jesus Christ.” (p. 605)
“All the victories of God’s Spirit and providence begin at the altar of believing prayer. Let us store the heavens with prayer. It always come back, and the longer it waits the larger the accumulation and the overflow. You have no conception of the strength and satisfaction, as well as wide and lasting usefulness, which the ministry of prayer will add to the humblest Christian life.” (May 8, 1921 in section on Thoughts for the Day)
