When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life.

The Bible is the written word of God, and because it is written it is confined and limited by the necessities of ink and paper and leather.

God's word in the Bible can have power only because it corresponds to God's Word in the universe. It is the present Voice which makes the written word powerful. Otherwise it would lie locked in slumber within the covers of a book.
