eye compassion soul
Would a soul continually eye His everlasting tenderness and compassion...[then] it could not bear an hour's absence from Him; whereas now, perhaps, it cannot watch with him one hour.
faith eye eagles
Some relate . . . that the eagle tries the eyes of her young by turning them to the sun; which if they cannot look steadily on, she rejects them as spurious. We may truly try our faith by immediate intuitions of the Sun of Righteousness. Direct faith to act itself, immediately and directly on the incarnation of Christ and His mediation; and if it be not the right kind and race, it will turn its eyes aside to anything else.
kings communication eye
The beauty of the person of Christ, as represented in the Scripture, consists in things invisible unto the eyes of flesh. They are such as no hand of man can represent or shadow. It is the eye of faith alone that can see this King in his beauty. What else can contemplate on the untreated glories of his divine nature? Can the hand of man represent the union of his natures in the same person, wherein he is peculiarly amiable? What eye can discern the mutual communications of the properties of his different natures in the same person?
eye world glory
The more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes.
eye men may
A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.
eye grace-and-mercy soul
All that may be known of God for our salvation, especially his wisdom, love, goodness, grace and mercy on which the life of our souls depends, are represented to us in all their splendour in and through Christ. No wonder then that Christ is glorious in the eyes of believers!
eye desire world
On Christ’s glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.
mean eye men
It is the Spirit alone that can mortify sin; he is promised to do it, and all other means without him are empty and vain. How shall he, then, mortify sin that has not the Spirit? A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.
bodily families functions living meanwhile sleeping
We have been living like cavemen, sleeping in cars, doing bodily functions outside. And meanwhile we're the victims, and we have families here.
record verdict
After hearing the evidence, I will record a verdict of natural causes.
comfort deeds depends life power vigor
The vigor and power and comfort of our spiritual life depends on our mortification of deeds of the flesh.
All thing I thought I knew; but now confess, the more I know I know, I know the less.
assets cheap either gives opportunity pick
It gives them an opportunity to either pick up those assets on the cheap or to have someone else come in and re-franchise the area.
attitude certainly chance great patiently pleased season shown squad took wait
I was very pleased with Jonathan's performance. He has had to wait patiently this season as we have a big squad but he has shown a great attitude and he certainly took his chance today.
