christian scripture delight
True Christians delight to read the Scriptures, because they tell them about their beloved Savior.
christian prayer believe
There are few professing Christians, it may be feared, who strive to imitate Christ in the matter of private devotion. There is abundance of hearing, reading, talking, professing, visiting, contributing to the poor and teaching at schools. But is there, together with all this, a due proportion of private prayer? Are believing men and women sufficiently careful to be frequently alone with God?
heart views hatred
To be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new tastes, new affections, new likings, new dislikings, new fears, new joys, new sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and salvation.
sorry giving hypocrisy
To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.
people soul littles
We know but little of true Christianity, if we don't feel a deep concern about the souls of unconverted people.
christian names littles
How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
jesus heaven christ
No one ever reached heaven without repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
christian children school
Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.
believe soul spirit
I believe it to be clear evidence of the Spirit’s presence when the Word of God is really precious to a person’s soul.
jesus children way
If you profess to be a child of God, leave it to the Lord Jesus to sanctify you in His own way.
prince-of-peace universal
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears.
christian self cost
It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.
men winning heaven
Conversion is not putting a man in an armchair and taking him easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.
men judgment christ
Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.
