jesus successful men
It is a wonderful fact that men and women saved by the blood of Jesus rarely remain subjects of charity, but rise at once to comfort and respectability... I never saw a man who put Christ first in his life that wasn't successful.
prayer great-work ifs
My friends, if we are going to do a great work for God, we must spend much time in prayer; we have got to be closeted with God.
distance people heaven
We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.
successful men people
It is not the man that can preach the best that is the most successful, but the man who knows how to get his people together to pray.
mom mother prayer
The impression that a praying mother leaves upon her children is life-long. Perhaps when you are dead and gone your prayer will be answered.
christian prayer knees
The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe. God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.
book writing thinking
I am glad there are things in the Bible I do not understand. If I could take that book up and read it as I would any other book, I might think I could write a book like that.
christian men giving
People, when asked if they are Christians, give some of the strangest answers you ever heard. Some will say if you ask them: "Well - well - well, I, - I hope I am." Suppose a man should ask me if I am an American. Would I say: "Well, I - well, I - I hope I am?
men hundred one-man
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
men people complaining
I have noticed this, that when a man is full of the Holy Ghost he is the very last man to be complaining of other people.
god solitary-life able
No one can sum up all God is able to accomplish through one solitary life, wholly yielded, adjusted, and obedient to Him.
men littles too-much
The trouble with a great many men is that they spread themselves out over too much ground. They fail in everything. If they would only put their life into one channel, and keep it in, they would accomplish something. They make no impression because they do a little work here and a little work there....Lay yourselves on the altar of God, and then concentrate on some one work.
christian sweet oil
How easy it is to work for God when we are filled with His Spirit! His service is so sweet, so delightful; He is not a hard master. People talk about their being overworked and breaking down. It is not so. It is [over-worry] and care that wears people out. Why do so many workers break down? Not from overwork, but because there has been friction of the machinery; there hasn't been enough of the oil of the Spirit. Great engines have their machinery so arranged that where there is friction there is oil dropping on it all the time. It is a good thing for Christians to have plenty of oil.
christian men desire
The first thing a man must do if he desires to be used in the Lord's work, is to make an unconditional surrender of himself to God.
