Confident dependence on God to fulfill all He has purposed is demonstrated by a life of prayer.– Ian Hamilton
I commend to you the importance of watchfulness over your prayers. Prayer is that point in religion at which you must be most of all on your guard. Here it is that true religion begins; here it flourishes, and here it decays. Tell me what a man’s prayers are, and I will soon tell you the state of his soul. Prayer is the spiritual pulse. By this the spiritual health may be tested.
– J.C. Ryle
People have such slight and superficial views of sin because they have such slight and superficial views of God!– Ian Hamilton in What Is Experiential Calvinism?
