jesus holiness would-be
If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.
men holiness golden
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The "divine service" is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
desire holiness repentance
Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.
men holiness god-love
Love for God is obedience; love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.
delight holiness pleasure
We fear not God because of any compulsion; our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure, our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.

You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.
two truth-is teach
I cannot agree with those who say that they have 'new truth' to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other; that which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God himself.
men ministry easy
The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.
jesus fighting winning
But the best argument of all [for evangelism] is to be found in the wounds of Jesus. You want to honor Him, you desire to put many crowns upon His head, and this you can best do by winning souls for Him. These are the spoils that He covets, these are the trophies for which He fights, these are the jewels that shall be His best adornment.
pride impossible masters
Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.
