Checkout quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds on Work

  • The preacher's sharpest and strongest preaching should be to himself. His most difficult, delicate, laborious, and thorough work must be with himself.
    - Edward McKendree Bounds
  • Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.
    - Edward McKendree Bounds
  • When we say that prayer puts God to work, it is simply to say that man has it in his power by prayer to move God to work in His own way among men, in which way He would not work if prayer was not made.
    - Edward McKendree Bounds
  • If prayer puts God to work on earth, then, by the same token, prayerlessness rules God out of the world's affairs and prevents Him from working.
    - Edward McKendree Bounds
  • Prayer lays hold upon God and influences Him to work. This is the meaning of prayer as it concerns God. This is the doctrine of prayer, or else there is nothing whatever in prayer.
    - Edward McKendree Bounds
  • In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.
    - Edward McKendree Bounds
  • Men of prayer, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth. No other sort will fit in the scheme or do the deed. Men, great and influential in other things but small in prayer, cannot do the work Almighty God has set out for His Church to do in this, His world.
