He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.
John Bunyan
Image
I found it hard work now to pray to God, because despair was swallowing me up
John Bunyan
Image
The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.
John Bunyan
Image
Every time you have with your mouth said well of godliness, and yet gone on in wickedness or every time you have condemned sin in others, and yet have not refrained it yourselves I say, every such word and conclusion that hath passed out of thy mouth, sinner, it shall be as a witness against thee in the day of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
John Bunyan
Image
Whatever contradicts the Word of God should be instantly resisted as diabolical.
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
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

John Bunyan
Image

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
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
John Bunyan
Image
It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.
John Bunyan
Image
Our heart oft times wakes when we sleep, and God can speak to that, either by words, by proverbs, by signs and similitudes, as well as if one was awake.
John Bunyan
Image
I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.
John Bunyan
Image
Men, even the elect, have too many infirmities to come to Christ without help from heaven inviting will not do.
John Bunyan
Image
Grace can pardon our ungodliness and justify us with Christ's righteousness it can put the Spirit of Jesus Christ within us it can help us when we are down it can heal us when we are wounded it can multiply pardons, as we through frailty multiply transgressions.
John Bunyan
Image
A comely sight indeed it is to see, a world of blossoms on an apple tree.
John Bunyan
Image
His love is what makes us live, love, sing, and praise forever.
John Bunyan
Image
Now, Mr. Great-heart was a strong man, so he was not afraid of a lion.

Pray and read, read and pray for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.
