jesus church reason
As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
water desire tears
A tear is enough water to float a desire to God.
fall mean secret
My witness is, that those who are honoured of their Lord in public, have usually to endure a secret chastening, or to carry a peculiar cross, lest by any means they exalt themselves, and fall into the snare of the devil.
evil sin good-work
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
jesus lord savior
Whatever subject I preach, I do not stop until I reach the Savior, the Lord Jesus, for in Him are all things.
christian humble choices
Every Christian has a choice between being humble or being humbled.
jesus strong doctrine
It is no novelty, then, that I am preaching; no new doctrine. I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines, that are called by nickname Calvinism, but which are surely and verily the revealed truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus.
baby men world
A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.
christian mother book
The Book of Proverbs deals very hard blows against sluggards, and Christian ministers do well frequently to denounce the great sin of idleness, which is the mother of a huge family of sins.
believe heart men
Never lose heart in the power of the gospel. Do not believe that there exists any man, much less any race of men, for whom the gospel is not fitted.
should-have perfect church
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all; and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earthto us.
latin able use
Learn to say no; it will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin.
jesus fall eye
Let your tears fall because of sin; but, at the same time, let the eye of faith steadily behold the Son of man lifted up, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, that those who are bitten by the old serpent may look unto Jesus and live. Our sinnership is that emptiness into which the Lord pours his mercy.
blood merit christ
It is not faith in Christ that saves you (though faith is the instrument) - it is Christ's blood and merits.
