There hath not one tear dropped from thy tender eye against thy lusts, the love of this world, or for more communion with Jesus Christ, but as it is now in the bottle of God.

Image
A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan
Image
What a fool, quoth he, am I, thus to lie in a stinking dungeon, when I may as well walk at liberty! I have a key in my bosom, called Promise, that will, I am persuaded, open any lock in Doubting Castle.
John Bunyan
Image
I saw, moreover, that it was not my good frame of heart that made my righteousness better, nor my bad frame that made my righteousness worse for my righteousness was Jesus Christ himself, the same yesterday and today and forever.
John Bunyan
Image
Yet my great-grandfather was but a water-man, looking one way and rowing another: and I got most of my estate by the same occupation.
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.

A saint abroad, and a devil at home.
John Bunyan
Image
I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?
John Bunyan
Image
Wherefore, though the Christian, as a Christian, is the only man at liberty, as called thereunto of God yet his liberty is limited to things that are good: he is not licensed thereby to indulge the flesh.
John Bunyan
Image
I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times.
John Bunyan
Image
Nae man can tether time nor tide.
John Bunyan
Image
It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.
John Bunyan
Image
I come from the Town of Stupidity it lieth about four degrees beyond the City of Destruction.
John Bunyan
Image
I saw a man clothed with rags . . . a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back.
John Bunyan
Image
A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the Spirit of God. It prevails with Him unspeakably.
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
If you are not a praying person, you are not a Christian.
John Bunyan
Image
His love is what makes us live, love, sing, and praise forever.
John Bunyan
Image
a man there was, though some did count him mad, the more he cast away the more he had.
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 truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.
