Bold, Earnest, and Fervent Prayers

Shortly after Dallas Seminary was founded in the early 1920’s, it came to the point of bankruptcy and almost folded. On the morning it was to be foreclosed, the founders and leaders of the school met in the president’s office to pray that God would provide.

Harry Ironside was present at that prayer meeting. He boldly prayed, “Lord, we know that the cattle on a thousand hills are Thine. Please sell some of them and send us the money.”
