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.
John Bunyan
Image
Love is the beauty and the strength of all societies and the great pleasure of our lives on earth.
John Bunyan

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.
