…Pray to Him; call upon His holy name; make known His wonderful work among the people. Prayer and preaching must go together. A sermon without prayer may be a perfect specimen of homiletic effort; it may be a marvelous piece of rhetoric; it may be a correct ethical discourse, or an admirable philosophical essay; it may be amusing, entertaining, and instructive; and yet, without the power that comes from prayer, it will be barren of spiritual results.
