christian men giving
People, when asked if they are Christians, give some of the strangest answers you ever heard. Some will say if you ask them: "Well - well - well, I, - I hope I am." Suppose a man should ask me if I am an American. Would I say: "Well, I - well, I - I hope I am?
men hundred one-man
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
men people complaining
I have noticed this, that when a man is full of the Holy Ghost he is the very last man to be complaining of other people.
god solitary-life able
No one can sum up all God is able to accomplish through one solitary life, wholly yielded, adjusted, and obedient to Him.
men littles too-much
The trouble with a great many men is that they spread themselves out over too much ground. They fail in everything. If they would only put their life into one channel, and keep it in, they would accomplish something. They make no impression because they do a little work here and a little work there....Lay yourselves on the altar of God, and then concentrate on some one work.
christian sweet oil
How easy it is to work for God when we are filled with His Spirit! His service is so sweet, so delightful; He is not a hard master. People talk about their being overworked and breaking down. It is not so. It is [over-worry] and care that wears people out. Why do so many workers break down? Not from overwork, but because there has been friction of the machinery; there hasn't been enough of the oil of the Spirit. Great engines have their machinery so arranged that where there is friction there is oil dropping on it all the time. It is a good thing for Christians to have plenty of oil.
christian men desire
The first thing a man must do if he desires to be used in the Lord's work, is to make an unconditional surrender of himself to God.
may use bigs
We may easily be too big for God to use, but never too small.
men faces born
Man is born with his face turned away from God. When he truly repents, he is turned right round toward God; he leaves his old life.
prayer rushing never-settle
Fervency in prayer by the power of the Holy Spirit is a good preservative against thoughts rushing in. Flies never settle on the boiling pot.
inspiring men blood
Church attendance is as vital to a disciple as a transfusion of rich, healthy blood to a sick man.
inspirational-life walks depends
More depends on my walk than talk.
prayer thinking use
Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.
christian heart trying
You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as to try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart.
