The Lord's people have always been a waiting people.
followers bears christ
Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.
offering flames wind
Without the Spirit of God we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind or chariots without steeds. Like branches without sap, we are withered. Like coals without fire, we are useless. As an offering without the sacrificial flame, we are unaccepted.
running long waste
Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.

I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord; but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
thinking laughing soul
A soul-winner can do nothing without God. He must cast himself on the Invisible, or be a laughing-stock to the devil, who regards with utter disdain all who think to subdue human nature with mere words and arguments.
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.

Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.

The preaching of Christ is the whip that flogs the devil. The preaching of Christ is the thunderbolt, the sound of which makes all hell shake.

A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.
church moments despise
The moment the church of God shall despise the pulpit, God will despise her.
wise prayer purpose
Make the most of prayer. ... Prayer is the master-weapon. We should be wise if we used it more, and did so with a more specific purpose.
long might serving-god
I long for nothing more earnestly than to serve God with all my might.
christ should sad-things
Is it not a sad thing that after all Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him?
