“Your national greatness, swelling vanity; your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.” AmericaNationsReligiousPrayerLibertyCrimeGreatnessMereVanityDeceptionHypocrisyFraudTyrantsSavagesVeilsSermonsHollowOur PrayersDisgraceMockeryParadesHymnsAbolitionCover UpsBrassSwellingSolemnityLiberty And EqualityImpudence Author:Frederick Douglass
“The danger, then, is that materialism is not only shaping how we live but the way we think as well. It influences our consumer tastes and our preference for high-paying jobs, but it also alters our capacity to pray, the nature of our prayers, and the ways in which religious tutelage instructs our values.” ThinkingWayWellsJobsValuesReligiousPrayerInfluenceDangerPrayingTasteCapacityConsumersMaterialismConsumerismPreferenceOur PrayersOverconsumptionTutelage Author:Robert Wuthnow
“Prayer is an act of faith. Just by praying to God, you are declaring our trust in someone other than yourself. Your faith is increased as you pray and watch how God answers your prayers. God says in Jeremiah 33:3, Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know. God is awesome in power and there is never a time when He is not beside you. He is faithful and holy.” KnowsFaithReligiousPrayerAnswersWatchesPrayingHolyFaithfulOur PrayersKnowing GodPraying To GodDeclaringBeside YouJeremiah Author:Charles Stanley
“"I love them that love me, and glorify them that glorify me." (Proverbs 8:17, I Kings 2:30,) says the Lord of His saints. The lord gave the Holy Spirit to the saints, and they love us in the Holy Spirit. The saints hear our prayers and have the power from God to help us. The entire Christian race knows this.” KnowsInspirationalHelpingChristianSpiritReligiousPrayerRaceLordKingsHolySaintHoly SpiritOrthodoxOur PrayersGlorify Author:Silouan the Athonite
