~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS:
We learn only what we do;
And what we do, we become.
Live therefore,
in the ways you desire to have
as part of your personality.

~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS:
No Church's ultimate effectiveness will be greater than the level of its corporate prayer life.
No Church's corporate prayer life will be greater than the personal prayer lives of its believers.
No Believer's personal prayer life will be greater than the level of his or her own spiritual life.
No Believer's spiritual life will rise to stay above the level of his or her own personal, regular, daily time of worship with God.
