Let a Few Band Themselves Together...

"Let loyalty to Christ, full, unflinching, wholehearted loyalty, become the keynote of [our] praying and [our] preaching. Let a few band themselves together to ask God for this one thing — the full insight into the terrible condition of a Church in which so few members are won to Christ by the preaching of the Word. Let them offer themselves to God for a new baptism of His Spirit, and a new power to preach the day of the Lord and His presence in the midst of His people. Let them not rest until they begin to gather together, however few they be, the souls who are willing to be the living witnesses that Jesus Christ does indeed save from the power of selfishness and the world. He does indeed enable men and women in the ordinary walk of life to live with His life so in their heart that the conquest of the world for Him shall be the greatest reality, the all-absorbing object of their life and their love."
