A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan

John Bunyan
Image
Nothing can hurt you except sin nothing can grieve me except sin nothing can defeat you except sin. Therefore, be on your guard, my Mansoul.
John Bunyan
Image
You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.
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
Whatever contradicts the Word of God should be instantly resisted as diabolical.
John Bunyan
Image
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end
John Bunyan
Image
Let dissolution come when it will, it can do the Christian no harm, for it will be but a passage out of a prison into a palace out of a sea of troubles into a haven of rest out of a crowd of enemies, to an innumerable company of true, loving, and faithful friends out of shame, reproach, and contempt, into exceeding great and eternal glory.

Hope is never ill when faith is well.
