men wrath giving
If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?
jesus prayer son
Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.
christian children father
When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?
sacrifice lovely may
Do what you may, strive as earnestly as you can, live as excellently as you please, make what sacrifices you choose, be as eminent as you can for everything that is lovely and of good repute, yet none of these things can be pleaseing to God unless they be mixed with faith.
bible christian book
Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.
home servant-of-god bread
The motto of all true servants of God must be, ‘We preach Christ; and him crucified.’ A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.
christian missionary christian-missionary
Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.
doe helping praying
If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it; get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.
perseverance lust suffering
I would to God that saints would cling to Christ half as earnestly as sinners cling to the devil. If we were as willing to suffer for God as some are to suffer for their lusts, what perseverance and zeal would be seen on all sides!
thinking egypt grace
Soar back through all your own experiences. Think of how the Lord has led you in the wilderness and has fed and clothed you every day. How God has borne with your ill manners, and put up with all your murmurings and all your longings after the 'sensual pleasures of Egypt!' Think of how the Lord's grace has been sufficient for you in all your troubles.
believe men thinking
Is there any man that thinks in chains like the man who calls himself a free-thinker? Is there any man so credulous as the man who will not believe in the Bible? He swallows a ton of difficulties, and yet complains that we have swallowed an ounce of them. He has much more need of faith of a certain sort than we have, for skepticism has far harder problems than faith.
god christian motto
Our motto is, "With God, anywhere: without God, nowhere."
jesus tears wipe
A Jesus who never wept could never wipe away my tears.
needs lions cages
The Gospel is like a caged lion. It does not need to be defended, it just needs to be let out of its cage.
