abound age daily fear fine fire good life melt ordinary perfection
I fear that many a man's good resolutions only need the ordinary fire of daily life to make them melt away. So, too, with fine professions and the boastings of perfection which abound in this age of shams.
forget forgiven hour life perfect shall within
Oh, hour of forgiven sin, moment of perfect pardon, our soul shall never forget you while, within you, life and being find immortality!
prayer perfect wavering
The best worship that we ever render to God is far from perfect. Our praises, how faint and feeble they are! Our prayers, how wandering, how wavering they are! When we get nearest to God, how far off we are! When we are most like Him, how greatly unlike Him we are!
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.

anxiety empties empty strength today tomorrow
Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its strength
children furnace god puts sure
As sure as God puts His children in the furnace he will be in the furnace with them
against believe cannot god seem
If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem to be against us, we do not believe Him at all.
