jesus blessing perfect
If I had my choice of all the blessings I can conceive of I would choose perfect conformity to the Lord Jesus, or, in one word, holiness.
book thinking complaining
God gave me this great book to preach from, and if He has put anything in it you think is not fit, go and complain to Him, not to me. I am simply his servant, and if His errand that I am to tell is objectionable, I cannot help it.
god faith christian
Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.
memories book cases
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
faith trials sovereignty
When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.
prayer excess
Prayer can never be in excess.
heart eye hands
His eyes never slumber, and His hands never rest; His heart never ceases to beat with love, and His shoulders are never weary of carrying His people's burdens.
christian light church
The Bible is not the light of the world, it is the light of the Church. But the world does not read the Bible, the world reads Christians! “You are the light of the world.”
brother heart thinking
If I had a brother who had been murdered, what would you think of me if I...daily consorted with the assassin who drove the dagger into my brother's heart; surely I too must be an accomplice in the crime. Sin murdered Christ; will you be a friend to it? Sin pierced the heart of the Incarnate God; can you love it?
his-love lord broads
The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.
christian men enemy
The good man has his enemies. He would not be like His Lord if he had not. If we were without enemies we might fear that we were not the friends of God, for friendship of the world is enmity to God.
firsts glory
You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself.
blood veins way
Stale godliness is ungodliness. Let our religion be as warm, and constant, and natural as the flow of the blood in our veins. A living God must be served in a living way.
believe thinking people
I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.
