men names lasts
If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ's name in it, it ought to be his last.
exercise self wind
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
eye men long
All the preaching in the world cannot make a man see the truth so long as his eyes are blinded.
christian study bible-study
Bible study is the metal that forges a Christian.
church heirlooms persecution
Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.
christian hate godly
Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.
father blessing thinking
Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery; restoring the prodigal to the Father’s house, and never making him say, “Father, I have sinned.”
mother evil parent
Unbelief is the mother of vice; it is the parent of sin; and, therefore, I say it is a pestilent evil-a master sin.
adversity fire secret
Many a text [of Scripture] is written in a secret ink which must be held to the fire of adversity to make it visible.
christian believe blessing
I believe the hard heartest, most cross grained and most unloving Christians in all the world are those who have not had much trouble in their life. And those that are the most sympathizing, loving and Christlike are generally those who have the most affliction. The worse thing that can happen to any of us is to have a path made too smooth. One of the greatest blessings the Lord ever gave us was a cross.
believe fool doe
I will do as much as I can, says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it.
motto let-me ready
Let me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed; and let my motto be, "Ready for either".
voice ministry ill
An ill life will effectually drown the voice of the most eloquent ministry.
jesus taken promise
The assurance of every truth of Scripture is just the beauty of it. First because He has promised to do it; and God's promises are bonds that never yet were dishonored. Secondly, because Christ Jesus hath taken an oath that He will do it.
