prayer children heart
When the perceptive child of God stops to weigh the meaning of these words, then notes the connection in which they are found, he or she is driven to say, I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray.
heart circles doe
We sometimes fear to bring our troubles to God, because they must seem small to Him who sitteth on the circle of the earth. But if they are large enough to vex and endanger our welfare, they are large enough to touch His heart of love. For love does not measure by a merchant's scales, not with a surveyor's chain. It hath a delicacy... unknown in any handling of material substance.
heart soul might
If loving God with all our heart and soul and might is the greatest commandment, then it follows that not loving Him that way is the greatest sin.

Wealth, honors, pleasures, is not so eagerly to be desired as the forgiveness of our sins.
bible christian wise
Every type of destruction that human philosophy, human science, human reason, human art, human cunning, human force, and human brutality could bring to bear against this Book, and yet the Bible stands absolutely unshaken today. At times almost all the wise and great of the earth have been pitted against the Bible, and only an obscure few for it. Yet it has stood.

The best book in the world to put into the hands of one who desires to know about Jesus and to be saved is the gospel of John.
christian hands use
If you and I are to be used in our sphere as D.L. Moody was used in his, we must put all that we have and all that we are in the hands of God, for Him to use as He will.
jesus blessing grieving
The failure to return thanks for definite blessings received is a manifestation of ingratitude that grieves Jesus Christ.
bible christian wise
The truly wise man is he who always believes the Bible against the opinions of any man.
christian littles deals
If you make a great deal of Christ, He will make a great deal of you; but if you make but a little of Christ, Christ will make but a little of you.
heaven hell company
I would rather go to heaven alone than go to hell in company.

If you in any way abate the doctrine of hell, it will abate your zeal.
