kindness son doubt
If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
humility pride thinking
Let us watch against pride in every shape - pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness. Nothing is so likely to keep a person out of heaven, and prevent them from seeing Christ, as pride. So long as we think we are something we shall never be saved. Let us pray for and cultivate humility; let us seek to know ourselves correctly, and to find out our place in the sight of a holy God.
satan subtraction substitution
Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.
humble proud students
"A humble and prayerful person will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud student will utterly fail to discern." ~ J.C. Ryle
repentance evidence
Let us beware of repentance without evidence.
willing saved sinner
God is far more willing to save sinners than sinners are to be saved.
relatives-and-friends impossible deceiving
It is not hard to deceive ministers, relatives and friends. But it is impossible to deceive Christ.
kings waiting looks
Why is a believer patient? Because he looks for the coming of the Lord...He waits quietly for the King.
mercy duty gods-will
We never know who they are that God will draw, and have nothing to do with it. Our duty is to invite all, and leave it to God to choose the vessels of mercy.
mercy-of-god joy heaven
That preaching is sadly defective which dwells exclusively on the mercies of God and the joys of heaven, yet never sets forth the terrors of the Lord and the miseries of hell.
humility proud born
We know nothing of humility by nature, for we are all born proud.
zealous savior disciple
A zealous Savior ought to have zealous disciples.
humble pride men
Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world- one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.
kings rip writing
It is easy to criticize and find fault with the conduct of kings, and write furious articles against them in newspapers, or make violent speeches about them on platforms. Any fool can rip and rend a costly garment, but not every man can cut out and make one. To expect perfection in kings, prime ministers, or rulers of any king, is senseless and unreasonable. We would exhibit more wisdom if we prayed for them more, and criticized less.
