If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.
strong men needs
Reply implicitly upon the old, old gospel. You need no other nets when you fish for men; those your Master has given you are strong enough to hold the little ones. Spread these nets and no others, and you need not fear the fulfillment of His word, 'I will make you fishers of men.'
powerful evil spirit
We declare, upon Scriptural authority, that the human will is so desperately set on mischief, so depraved, and so inclined to everything that is evil, and so disinclined to everything that is good, that without the powerful, supernatural, irresistible influence of the Holy Spirit, no human will ever be constrained towards Christ.
song strong grace
When I am weak then am I strong, Grace is my shield and Christ my Song,
men alive dresses
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
dog thinking sheep
I saw a young sister, just before this service; and I said to her, "When did you find the Lord?" She replied, "It was when I was very ill." Yes, it is often so; God makes us ill in body that we may have time to think of Him, and turn to Him....What would become of some people if they were always in good health, or if they were always prospering? But tribulation is the black dog that goes after the stray sheep, and barks them back to the Good Shepherd. I thank God that there are such things as the visitations of correction and of holy discipline, to preserve our spirit, and bring us to Christ.
god christian religious
The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.
jesus journey men
If there existed only one man or woman who did not love the Saviour, and if that person lived among the wilds of Siberia, and if it were necessary that all the millions of believers on the face of the earth should journey there, and every one of them plead with him to come to Jesus before he could be converted, it would be well worth all the zeal, labour, and expense. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.
mother dream home
Those who think that a woman detained at home by her little family is doing nothing, think the reverse of what is true. Scarcely can the godly mother quit her home for a place of worship; but dream not that she is lost to the work of the church; far from it, she is doing the best possible service for her Lord. Mothers, the godly training of your offspring is your first and most pressing duty.
wise wisdom knowledge
To know is not to be wise. To know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
strong silly heart
Do not become self-sufficient . Self-sufficienc y is Satan’s net where he catches men, like poor silly fish, and destroys them. Be not self-sufficient . The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself. God pours no power into man’s heart till man’s power is all poured out. Live, then, daily, a life of dependence on the grace of God.
effort use talent
The repetition of small efforts will accomplish more than the occasional use of great talents.
opportunity honor denial
When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.
easter sin lord
If the Lord's bearing our sin for us is not the gospel, I have no gospel to preach.
