dog winning soul
Let eloquence be flung to the dogs rather than souls be lost. What we want is to win souls. They are not won by flowery speeches.
flavor salt doe
As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.
christian believe feelings
I believe that the happiest of all Christians and the truest of Christians are those who never dare to doubt God, but take His Word simply as it stands, and believe it, and ask no questions, just feeling assured that if God has said it, it will be so.
christ no-hope
Without Christ there is no hope.
mother nurse grace
Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.
cheer hard-times talking
I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.

The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
faith trials sovereignty
When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.
morning prayer men
It is a good rule never to look into the face of a man in the morning till you have looked into the face of God.
christian animal sheep
Some Christians try to go to heaven alone, in solitude; but believers are not compared to bears, or lions, or other animals that wander alone; but those who belong to Christ are sheep in this respect, that they love to get together. Sheep go in flocks, and so do God’s people.
thinking grace today
It is folly to think the Lord provides grace for every trouble but the one you are in today.
prayer long sorrow
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
wise christian feelings
The true way for a Christian to live is to live entirely upon Christ... Christians have experiences and they have feelings, but, if they are wise, they never feed upon these things, but upon Christ, Himself.
hardship pancakes eating
There is hardship in everything except eating pancakes.
