The same yesterday, today, and forever.

Love is the beauty and the strength of all societies and the great pleasure of our lives on earth.
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
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
Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!
John Bunyan
Image
There was a castle called Doubting Castle, the owner whereof was Giant Despair.

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

John Bunyan
Image

John Bunyan
Image
There is no way to kill a man's righteousness but by his own consent.
John Bunyan
Image
The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.
John Bunyan
Image
He that is down needs fear no fall.
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
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.
John Bunyan
Image
For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan
Image
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
John Bunyan
Image
Our sins, when laid upon Christ, were yet personally ours, not his so his righteousness, when put upon us, is yet personally his, not ours.
John Bunyan
