Bounds http://www.nathankmiller.com The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it. - William James Sat, 06 Nov 2010 23:54:12 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 What the Church Needs http://www.nathankmiller.com/2009/08/07/what-the-church-needs/ http://www.nathankmiller.com/2009/08/07/what-the-church-needs/#comments Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:24:24 +0000 Nathan http://www.nathankmiller.com/?p=180 This week I began reading E.M. Bounds book on Prayer. I’m only a few pages in and it has already begun to challenge my faith and prayer life. I know that it’s going to become a favorite of mine! This morning I wanted to give you a quote I found of particular interest:

“It’s not the intellectually great that the church needs; nor is it men of wealth that the times demand. It is not people of great social influence that this day requires. Above everybody and everything else it is men of faith, men of mighty prayer, man and women after the fashion of the saints and heroes enumerated in Hebrews, who ‘obtained a good report through faith,’ that the church and the whole wide world humanity needs.” – E.M. Bounds

May I be a man mighty in faith and prayer! Lord help me!
