prayer trust-in-god dare
If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?
emptiness christ fullness
You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ.
men mind delight
Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.
long waiting remember
We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.
stars children names
You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. Approach him and be at peace.
prayer groaning revival-prayer
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
sheep church goats
A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats
christian christian-inspirational lions
The Word of God is like a lion. You don't have to defend a lion. All you have to do is let the lion loose, and the lion will defend itself.
looks worship ifs
Do not flatter yourselves: if you go to places of worship merely to look about you or to hear music, you are not worshipping God.
acceptable sermons
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
change age wells
It is not well to make great changes in old age.
religious teaching men
We would labor earnestly to raise a believer in salvation by free will into a believer in salvation by grace, for we long to see all religious teaching built upon the solid rock of truth and not upon the sand of imagination. At the same time, our grand object is not the revision of opinions, but the regeneration of natures. We should bring men to Christ, not to our own particular views of Christianity.
valentines-day sake benefits
Love never asks what benefit it will derive from love. Love from its very nature is a disinterested thing. It loves for the creature's sake it loves, and for nothing else.
fighting errors evil
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
