Christian Life

Soul must overflow – Charles Spurgeon

Thy Soul must overflow, if thou
Another’s soul would reach,
It needs the overflow of heart
to give the lips full speech

What God Intends Prayer To Be – Rosalind Goforth

Prayer has been hedged about with too many man-made rules. I am convinced that God has intended prayer to be as simple and natural, and as constant a part of our spiritual life, as the intercourse between a child and his parent in the home. And as a large part of that intercourse between child and parent is simply asking and receiving, just so is it with us and our Heavenly Parent.

For Of What Christ Displays – Isaac Watts

Should all the hosts of death and powers of hell unknown

Put their most dreadful forms of rage or malice on

I shall be safe, for Christ displays superior power and guardian grace

Best Christians Found In Worst Times – John Bunyan

I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times: and I have thought again, that one reason why we are no better, is because God purges us no more. I know these things are against the grain of the flesh, but they are not against the graces of the Spirit.

The World Cries For Men Who Are Strong – Elizabeth Elliot

The world cries for men who are strong: strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer. I pray you will be that kind of man, glad that God made you a man, glad to shoulder the burden of manliness in a time when to do so will often bring contempt
