christian harvest-time suffering
Suffering times are a Christian's harvest time.
suffering earth sickness
There is no greater mercy that I know of on earth than good health except it is sickness, and that has often been a greater mercy to me than health.
men suffering sorrow
To become a man was something, but to become a man of sorrows was far more; to bleed, and die, and suffer.
thinking joy suffering
It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.
christian suffering doubt
It seems to me that doubt is worse than trial. I had sooner suffer any affliction than be left to question the gospel or my own interest in it.
sea suffering needs
Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this world's comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, "It passeth away;" for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God.
suffering saint seeds
Suffering saints are living seed.
suffering miserable-person wealth
No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.
christian suffering sorrow
There is no university for a Christian, like that of sorrow and trial
thinking soul suffering
Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.
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!
ocean evil suffering
Suffering is better than sinning. There is more evil in a drop of sin than in an ocean of affliction. Better, burn for Christ, than turn from Christ.
suffering christ poor
There, poor sinner, take my garment, and put it on; you shall stand before God as if you were Christ, and I will stand before God as if I had been the sinner; I will suffer in the sinner's stead, and you shall be rewarded for works that you did not do, but which I did for you.
prayer weight length
True prayer is measured by weight, not by length
