“Remember the parable of Chariots of Fire. In that movie, both Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell are great athletes. They both earn their medal in the Olympics. But Harold Abrahams, the Jew, runs under the law, while Eric Liddell, the Christian, runs under the pleasure of God. The Jews still run like Harold Abrahams. Americans used to run like Eric Liddell. Let the reader understand.”

“Whether feeling appointed or not, I now pray
That through faith I would act as appointed by You.
Whether feeling anointed by Your Spirit or not,
I pray I would speak as one having great power.
Whether feeling authority, I pray that through faith,
I would speak as a prophet having authority.”

“I ask that this service of worship this morning
Would thrown down all enclaves of resistance to You
That operate here, that exist in our town,
Among men of influence, those who hold power,
In each of our families, in circles of friends.
Disrupt them all, I ask now, I pray You.”

“The logic of Christendom is that of multiple countries, multiple nations, all calling on the name of Christ, all having the option of living under the promised Deuteronomic blessings. As this goodness gradually takes shape, these Deuteronomic blessings will gradually become the Isaianic blessings, and the wolf will dwell with the lamb.”

“I pray the cliff edge would crumble from under us.
Put us where we can do nothing but trust You.”
