son years giving
We venture to assert, that if there be any day in the year, of which we may be pretty sure that it was not the day on which the Savior was born, it is the 25th of December. Regarding not the day, let us, nevertheless, give thanks to God for the gift of His dear Son.
past years judging
It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.
men years two
There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it; the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen; and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree.
sadness night years
God alone can do what seems impossible. This is the promise of his grace: 'I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten' (Joel 2:25). God can give back all those years of sorrow, and you will be the better for them. God will grind sunlight out of your black nights. In the oven of affliction, grace will prepare the bread of delight. Someday you will thank God for all your sadness.
jesus thinking years
In 40 years I have not spent 15 minutes without thinking of Jesus.
years soul rewards
If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be a full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.
years giving generosity
In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out-give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.

Ten minutes praying is better than a year's murmuring.
prayer weight length
True prayer is measured by weight, not by length
trying want scripture
Dear friends, whenever you want to understand a text of Scripture, try to read the original
remember foolish gentle
How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves
winning giving soul
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.
