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.
prayer flower long
Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow. Cleopatra was poisoned by an asp that was brought to her in a basket of fair flowers. Sharp-edged tools, long handled, wound at last.
believe men thinking
Is there any man that thinks in chains like the man who calls himself a free-thinker? Is there any man so credulous as the man who will not believe in the Bible? He swallows a ton of difficulties, and yet complains that we have swallowed an ounce of them. He has much more need of faith of a certain sort than we have, for skepticism has far harder problems than faith.
