Tell others about Jesus:

 Though we are not all called to the ministry of a Pastor, or a Christian Writer, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians.  Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our  web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). ____________

 

Author: E. M. Bounds

Read by Scott Harrison

Bounds rose to pray at 4 a.m. and prayed until 7 a.m.

Jesus said, "If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do."

"That, says E. M. Bounds, "is the divine declaration, and it opens a vista of infinite resources and possibility."  

Throughout his ministry, Bounds rose to pray at 4 a.m. and prayed until 7 a.m.  Out of this deep prayer experience, he could say,

"Without prayer the Christian life, robbed of its sweetness and beauty, becomes cold and formal, and dead; but in the secret place where God talks with his own, the Christian life grows into such a testimony of Divine power that all men will feel its influence and be touched by the warmth of its love...That, surely is the purpose of all real prayer and the end of all true service."

About E. M. Bounds:

E. M. Bounds (1835-1913) practiced law for three years before he entered the ministry; he served as chaplain during the Civil War.  Bounds' books on prayer have become spiritual classics. ____________________________
