men treasure digging
We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.
jesus believe simple
All the simplicity in the world can do no good, unless you preach the simple gospel of Jesus Christ so fully and clearly that everybody can understand it. If 'Christ crucified' has not His rightful place in your sermons, and sin is not exposed as it should be, and your people are not plainly told what they ought to believe, and be, and do - your preaching is of no use!
jesus heart purpose
The love of our Lord Jesus Christ towards sinners is strikingly shown in His steady purpose of heart to die for them.
littles action accounts
There are eternal consequences resulting from all our thoughts, words and actions, of which we take far too little account.
trials conflict crosses
Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.
idols mercy manufacturing
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.
prayer believe past
Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
doe worship christ
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
jesus kings men
In Christ alone God’s rich provision of salvation for sinners is treasured up: by Christ alone God’s abundant mercies come down from heaven to earth. Christ’s blood alone can cleanse us; Christ’s righteousness alone can cleanse us; Christ’s merit alone can give us a title to heaven. Jews and Gentiles, learned and unlearned, kings and poor men--all alike must either be saved by the Lord Jesus, or lost forever.
speak christ ashamed
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.
christian men one-day
Except a man be born again, he will wish one day he had never been born at all.
teacher firsts neglect
It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
land house style
There is more Bible buying, Bible selling, Bible printing and Bible distributing than ever before in our nation. We see Bibles in every bookstore - Bibles of every size, price and style. There are Bibles in almost every house in the land. But all this time I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.
feelings glory christ
Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.
