How many souls have been blown into hell with the wind of popular applause?
Thomas Watson
Image
The Ediles among the Romans had their doors always standing open, that all who had petitions might have free access to them. The door of heaven is always open for the prayers of God's people.
Thomas Watson
Image
Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid but when the arrow of a saint's prayer is put into the bow of Christ's intercession it pierces the throne of grace.
Thomas Watson
Image
Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Thomas Watson
Image
Prayer is the offering up of our desires to God in the name of Christ, for such things as are agreeable to his will. It is an offering of our desires. Desires are the soul and life of prayer words are but the body now as the body without the soul is dead, so are prayers unless they are animated with our desires.
Thomas Watson
Image
The angel fetched Peter out of prison, but it was prayer that fetched the angel.

God will not be behind-hand in love to us: for our drop, we shall receive an ocean.
Thomas Watson
Image
The fastest way to succeed is to double your rate of failure.
Thomas Watson
Image
A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.
Thomas Watson
Image
Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.
Thomas Watson
Image
None so empty of grace as he that thinks he is full.
Thomas Watson
Image
Prayer is the soul's breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father.
Thomas Watson
Image
First we practice sin, then defend it, then boast of it.
Thomas Watson
Image
There is justice in hell, but sin is the most unjust thing. It would rob God of his glory, Christ of his purchase, the soul of its happiness.
Thomas Watson
Image
The torments of hell abide for ever.... If all the earth and sea were sand, and every thousandth year a bird should come, and take away one grain of this sand, it would be a long time ere that vast heap of sand were emptied yet, if after all that time the damned may come out of hell, there were some hope but this word EVER breaks the heart.
