What if we have more of the rough file, if we have less rust! Afflictions carry away nothing but the dross of sin.

First we practice sin, then defend it, then boast of it.
Thomas Watson
Image
God will fill the hungry because He Himself has stirred up the hunger. As in the case of prayer, when God prepares the heart to pray, He prepares His ear to hear (Ps. 10:17). So in the case of spiritual hunger, when God prepares the heart to hunger, He will prepare His hand to fill.

Sin has the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages.

Image
The more we enjoy of God, the more we are ravished with delight.

Image
Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting.
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
Knowledge is the eye which must direct the foot of obedience.
Thomas Watson
Image
Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.
Thomas Watson
Image
Our murmuring is the devil's music.
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
Joining a company is an act that calls for absolute loyalty in big matters and little ones.
