sister thinking sparring-partner
It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women - but he can think of them as he ought - as sisters, not as sparring partners.
men thinking missionary
I do not know how to make a man think seriously about sin and judgment, and must look to the work of the Holy Spirit for any hint of such a working.
morning responsibility thinking
None of it gets to be 'old stuff', for it is Christ in print, the Living Word. We wouldn't think of rising in the morning without a facewash, but we often neglect that purgative cleansing of the Word of the Lord. It wakes us up to our responsibility
men thinking church
Our young men are going into the professional fields because they don't 'feel called' to the mission field. We don't need a call; we need a kick in the pants. We must begin thinking in terms of 'going out,' and stop our weeping because 'they won't come in.' Who wants to step into an igloo? The tombs themselves are not colder than the churches. May God send us forth.
writing blessing thinking
It makes me boil when I think of the power we profess and the utter impotency of our action. Believers who know one-tenth as much as we do are doing one-hundred times more for God, with His blessing and our criticism. Oh if I could write it, preach it, say it, paint it, anything at all, if only God's power would become known among us.
son men thinking
Live every day as if the Son of Man were at the door, and gear your thinking to the fleeting moment. Just how can it be redeemed? Walk as if the next step would carry you across the threshold of Heaven. Pray. That saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
belt eager large technique
We are eager to use the occultation technique to probe for atmospheres around large Kuiper belt objects.
improve played team
It was pretty windy out there but the team played well. Phillips have a very young team so they should improve down the road.
areas crutches improving land moving muscles wheelchair
You're moving muscles and improving circulation in areas you can't when you're in a wheelchair on land or crutches or a walker.
cannot fool gain gives
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
principles lord impulse
I many no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather response to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.
forget
So many missionaries, intent on doing something, forget that His main work is to make something of them...
men hands curiosity
The shiny paint laid on by curiosity's hand has worn off. What thing better can a man know than the love of Christ, which passes knowledge?
dream believe mind
In my own experience I have found that the most extravagant dreams of boyhood have not surpassed the great experience of being in the Will of God, and I believe that nothing could be better. That is not to say that I do not want other things, and other ways of living, and other places to see, but in my right mind I know that my hopes and plans for myself could not be any better than He has arranged and fulfilled them. Thus may we all find it, and know the truth of the Word which says, He will be our guide even until death.
