christian heart giving
Lord, send Your life throughout the entire church. Visit Your church; restore sound doctrine and holy, earnest living. Take away from professing Christians their love of frivolities, their attempts to meet the world on it's own ground, and give back the old love of the doctrines of the Cross and Christ. May free grace and dying love again be the music that refreshes the church and makes her heart exceeding glad.
sweet art jesus
Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee. Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.
writing dust damnation
There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write 'damnation' with your fingers.
heart worship-music voice
God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.
christian prayer men
So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.
husband jealous married
If we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous husband will let none touch His spouse.
blessing hands water
I have heard of some good old woman in a cottage, who had nothing but a piece of bread and a little water, and lifting up her hands, she said, as a blessing, What! all this, and Christ too?
temptation idle industrious
Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle
christian self-esteem thinking
You are not mature if you have a high esteem of yourself. He who boasts in himself is but a babe in Christ, if indeed he be in Christ at all. Young Christians may think much of themselves. Growing Christians think themselves nothing. Mature Christians know that they are less than nothing. The more holy we are, the more we mourn our infirmities, and the humbler is our estimate of ourselves.
christian blessing sea
We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.
christian ambition faithful
I know of nothing which I would choose to have as the subject of my ambition for life than to be kept faithful to my God till death.
men doe
A man who does nothing never has time to do anything
gods-will
Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.
men long alive
As long as a man is alive and out of hell, he cannot have any cause to complain.
