“If any occupation or association is found to hinder our communion with God or our enjoyment of spiritual things, then it must be abandoned. Anything in my habits or ways which mars happy fellowship with the brethren or robs me of power in service, is to be unsparingly judged and made an end of – ‘burned.‘ Whatever I cannot do for God's glory must be avoided.” –A.W. Pink

“The Christian who walks with the Lord and keeps constant communion with Him will see many reason for rejoicing and thanksgiving all day long.” –Warren W. Wiersbe

“Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.” –Henri Nouwen

“Closet communion needs time for the revelation of God's presence. It is vain to say, ‘I have too much work to do to find time.’ You must find time or forfeit blessing. God knows how to save for you the time you sacredly keep for communion with Him.” –A.T. Pierson

“While others still slept, He went away to pray and to renew His strength in communion with His Father. He had need of this, otherwise He would not have been ready for the new day. The holy work of delivering souls demands constant renewal through fellowship with God.” –Andrew Murray
