Image
Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.
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.

It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.
John Bunyan
Image
As your faith is, such your hope will be. Hope is never ill when faith is well, nor strong if faith be weak.
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.
John Bunyan
Image
Run when I can, walk when I cannot run, and creep when I cannot walk.
John Bunyan
Image
If that a pearl may in a toad's head dwell, And may be found too in an oyster shell.
John Bunyan
Image
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
John Bunyan
Image
If people really see that Christ has removed the fear of punishment from them by taking it into Himself, they won't do whatever they want, they'll do whatever He wants.
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
I preach deliverance to others, I tell them there is freedom, while I hear my own chains clang.
