Ministry Prayer Whatever Whole Work

Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the Word withers. And when the ministry of the Word declines, faith (Rom. 10:17; Gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (John 17:17) decline. Activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. Therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.

I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I'm the only candidate in the race who opposes that.

Ted Cruz

A true libertarian supports free enterprise, opposes big business; supports local self-government, opposes the nation-state; supports the National Rifle Association, opposes the Pentagon.

Edward Abbey

It's important that if one opposes discriminatory speech, one opposes all kinds. That is that one decides on a principle that it will include all minorities. But if the protection of one minority against another minority is what is happening, then I worry about that.

Judith Butler

Duty is whatever opposes inclination.

Mason Cooley

The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.

Byron Katie

No man should be alone when he opposes Satan. The Church and the ministry of the Word were instituted for this purpose, that hands may be joined together and one may help another.

Martin Luther

When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposes us all he can.

Richard Sibbes

We should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports

Mao Zedong

God opposes the proud. The way you get up front is do really good work in the back. Humility is a by product of spending time with Jesus - it is not a reflection of yourself
