Breathes there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach their course to steer, Yet run himself life's mad career Wild as the wave?
John Bunyan
Image
It is profitable for Christians to be often calling to mind the very beginnings of grace with their souls.

Image
Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.
John Bunyan
Image
In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer. The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.

Beware of resting in the word of the kingdom, without the spirit and power of the kingdom of that gospel, for the gospel coming in word only saves nobody, for the kingdom of God or the gospel, where it comes to salvation, is not in word but in power.
John Bunyan
Image
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
John Bunyan
Image
Christians are like the several flowers in a garden that have each of them the dew of heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan

There was a castle called Doubting Castle, the owner whereof was Giant Despair.
John Bunyan
Image
Fullness to such a burden is That go on pilgrimage Here little, and hereafter bliss, Is best from age to age.
John Bunyan
Image
There can be but one will the master in our salvation, but that shall never be the will of man, but of God therefore man must be saved by grace.
John Bunyan
Image
The same yesterday, today, and forever.
John Bunyan
Image
Men, even the elect, have too many infirmities to come to Christ without help from heaven inviting will not do.
John Bunyan
Image
Words easy to be understood do often hit the mark, when high and learned ones do only pierce the air.
John Bunyan
Image
The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.
