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?

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.

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.
John Bunyan

I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan

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.
