John Bunyan

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
John Bunyan
Image
Though it be said that faith cometh by hearing, yet it is the Spirit that worketh faith in the heart through hearing, or else they are not profited by hearing.
John Bunyan
Image
He that lives in sin and looks for happiness hereafter is likehimthat soweth cockleand thinkstofill hisbarnwith wheat or barley.
John Bunyan

I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.

Prayer is an ordinance of God, that must continue with a soul so long as it is on this side glory.
