hands soul half
I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.
teaching thinking hands
I am content to live and die as the mere repeater of Scriptural teaching - as a person who has thought out nothing and invented nothing - but who concluded that he was to take the message from the lips of God to the best of his ability and simply to be a mouth for God to the people. - mourning much that anything of his own should come between - but never thinking that he was somehow to refine the message or to adapt it to the brilliance of this wonderful century and then to hand it out as being so much his own that he might take some share of the glory of it.
jesus war night
We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed... Glory be to God, we know the end of the war. The great dragon shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with him shall receive the crown. Let us sharpen our swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict. Never battle so important, never crown so glorious. Every man to his post, ye warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!
distance men law
The law shows the distance that exists between God and man; the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.
jesus men average
If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.
believe atonement wide
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
heaven his-love earth
Let me revel in this one thought: before God made the heavens and the earth, He set His love upon me.
lying integrity sin
Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience.
teeth lips sermons
The most effective sermons are those which make opposers of the Gospel bite their lips and gnash their teeth.
jesus believe giving
Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive!
i-can dies ten
I can find ten more who will die for the Bible for every one who will actually read it.
men feet mind
A man's contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions. Alexander the Great, with all the world at his feet, cries for another world to conquer.
blessed sunshine wings
When we cannot see the sunshine of God's face, it is blessed to cower down beneath the shadow of his wings.
forgiving may calvary
Let us go to Calvary to learn how we may be forgiven. And then let us linger there to learn how to forgive.
