believe fighting men
In justification the word to be addressed to man is believe - only believe; in sanctification the word must be 'watch, pray, and fight.'
believe angel men
If you show me a man deliberately living an unholy and licentious life, and yet boasting that his sins are forgiven, I answer, 'He is under a ruinous delusion, and is not forgiven at all.' I would not believe he is forgiven if an angel from heaven affirmed it, and I charge you not to believe it too. Pardon of sin and love of sin are like oil and waterthey will never go together. All who are washed in the blood of Christ, are also sanctified by the Spirit of Christ.
determination believe practice
Let us read the Bible reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in it.
prayer believe differences
What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.
running children kindness
Love should be the silver thread that runs through all your conduct. Kindness, gentleness, long suffering, forbearance, patience, sympathy, a willingness to enter into childish troubles, a readiness to take part in childish joys, - these are the cords by which a child may be led most easily, - these are the clues you must follow if you would find the way to his heart.
church want stoves
If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.
zealous savior disciple
A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.
godly feet smoking
He does not regard the quantity of faith, but the quality. He does not measure its degree, but its truth. He will not break any bruised reed, nor quench any smoking flax. He will never let it be said that any perished at the foot of the cross.
christian home christian-inspirational
The Bible in the pulpit must never supersede the Bible at home.
christian real men
Persecution, in short, is like the goldsmith's stamp on real silver and gold - it is one of the marks of a converted man.
real honest christianity
Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.
christian delight masters
The true Christian delights to hear something about their Master. They like those sermons best which are full of Christ.
prayer heart forgiving
No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.
christian humility men
Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.
