jesus prayer giving
We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul.
men two grace
This is the doctrine that we preach; if a man be saved, all the honor is to be given to Christ; but if a man be lost, all the blame is to be laid upon himself. You will find all true theology summed up in these two short sentences, salvation is all of the grace of God, damnation is all of the will of man.
winning victory sides
We are not alarmed because Satan hinders us, for it is a proof that we are on the Lord’s side, and are doing the Lord’s work, and in his strength we shall win the victory, and triumph over our adversary.
prayer enemy bones
Prayer sweeps the battlefield, slays the enemy, and buries the bones.
christ
It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you.
opportunity honor denial
When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.
prayer church saint
Saints of the early church reaped great harvests in the field of prayer and found the mercy seat to be a mine of untold treasures.
suffering miserable-person wealth
No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.
jesus law finals
Let the separation between you and the world be final and irreversible. Say, 'Here I go for Christ and His Cross, for the faith of the Bible, for the laws of God, for holiness, for trust in Jesus; and never will I go back, come what may.
easter sin lord
If the Lord's bearing our sin for us is not the gospel, I have no gospel to preach.
effort use talent
The repetition of small efforts will accomplish more than the occasional use of great talents.
wise wisdom knowledge
To know is not to be wise. To know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
mother dream home
Those who think that a woman detained at home by her little family is doing nothing, think the reverse of what is true. Scarcely can the godly mother quit her home for a place of worship; but dream not that she is lost to the work of the church; far from it, she is doing the best possible service for her Lord. Mothers, the godly training of your offspring is your first and most pressing duty.
jesus journey men
If there existed only one man or woman who did not love the Saviour, and if that person lived among the wilds of Siberia, and if it were necessary that all the millions of believers on the face of the earth should journey there, and every one of them plead with him to come to Jesus before he could be converted, it would be well worth all the zeal, labour, and expense. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.
