long-ago evil minorities
Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world
long thanks mercy
So long as we are receivers of mercy, we must be givers of thanks.
long trials may
FAITH untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials.
christian prayer long
If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
men long alive
As long as a man is alive and out of hell, he cannot have any cause to complain.
prayer long sorrow
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
long waiting remember
We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.
long might serving-god
I long for nothing more earnestly than to serve God with all my might.
short-life light long
Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.
running long waste
Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.
running long doubt
It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less. On, on, on for ever, without recreation may suit spirits emancipated from this 'heavy clay', but while we are in this tabernacle, we must every now and then cry halt, and serve the Lord by holy inaction and consecrated leisure. Let no tender conscience doubt the lawfulness of going out of harness for a while
kings winning long
It has been well said that if a great king should bring us a great heap of gold, and bid us take as much as we could count in a day, we should make a long day of it; but to win souls is far nobler work. How is it that we so soon withdraw from it?
jesus children long
The child of God knows his good works do not make him acceptable to God, for he was acceptable to God by Jesus Christ long before he had any good works.
prayer long peril
All our perils are nothing, so long as we have prayer.
