Time of Reflection Quotations

“Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.”

~Charles Spurgeon

“Believers are never told to become one; we already are one and are expected to act like it.”

~Joni Eareckson Tada

“To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.”

~Martin Luther

“There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer.”

~A.T. Pierson

“There is unusual power in united prayer. God has planned for His people to join together in prayer, not only for Christian fellowship, spiritual nurture, and growth, but also for accomplishing His divine purposes and reaching His chosen goals.”

~Wesley L. Duewel

Sermon Passage

Ephesians 3:14-19 (ESV)

¹⁴ For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, ¹⁵ from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, ¹⁶ that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
