catching follow pattern
In mathematics, everything is in procedures, and if you don't follow the right procedure, you won't get the right answer. There's a pattern. And there's a pattern in catching and throwing, too. You have to follow the right pattern.
mathematics program trouble tutor
If any of them that come through the program are having trouble in math, I'll tutor them. (Teaching) is the most important thing I do.

Look! Don't be deceived by appearances -- men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!
heaven ghost hell
I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
christian college years

jesus heart army
I will tell you the secret: God has had all that there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, even with greater opportunities, but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of what Jesus Christ could do with me and them, on that day I made up my mind that God should have all of William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.

prayer mean wrestling
You must pray with all your might. That does not mean saying your prayers, or sitting gazing about in church or chapel with eyes wide open while someone else says them for you. It means fervent, effectual, untiring wrestling with God. This kind of prayer be sure the devil and the world and your own indolent, unbelieving nature will oppose. They will pour water on this flame.
secular-music devil doe
Secular music, do you say, belongs to the devil? Does it? Well, if it did I would plunder him for it, for he has no right to a single note of the whole seven. Every note, and every strain, and every harmony is divine, and belongs to us.
heart fire needs
The tendency of fire is to go out; watch the fire on the altar of your heart. Anyone who has tended a fireplace fire knows that it needs to be stirred up occasionally.

If I thought I could win one more soul to the Lord by walking on my head and playing the tambourine with my toes, I'd learn how!

Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.
