christian men answers
If any man should ask me what is the first, second, and third part of being a Christian, I must answer 'Action!'
grace crowns mercy
God hath in Himself all power to defend you, all wisdom to direct you, all mercy to pardon you, all grace to enrich you, all righteousness to clothe you, all goodness to supply you, and all happiness to crown you.
missing christ
Get Christ and get all; miss Christ and miss all.
christian art believe
Carnal reason is an enemy to faith: it is ever crossing and contradicting it. It will never be well with thee, Christian, so long as thou art swayed by carnal reason, and you rely more upon thy five senses, than upon the four Evangelists. As the body lives by breathing, so the soul lives by believing.
hands grace affliction
When God's hand is on thy back, let thy hand be on thy mouth, for though the affliction be sharp it shall be but short.
sweet bitter sin
Those sins that seem most sweet in life, will prove most bitter in death
judging feelings ordinary
Though there is nothing more dangerous, yet there is nothing more ordinary, than for weak saints to make their sense and feeling the judge of their condition. We must strive to walk by faith.
religious moving hypocrite
Self is the only oil that makes the chariot-wheels of the hypocrite move in all religious concerns.
heart holy contradiction
An idle life and a holy heart is a contradiction.
evil affliction sin
There is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction.
clouds soul looks
A gracious soul may look through the darkest cloud and see God smiling on him.
christian fear shadow
Weak Christians are afraid of the shadow of the cross.
mother safety temptation
When you have overcome one temptation, you must be ready to enter the lists with another. As distrust, in some sense, is the mother of safety, so security is the gate of danger.
