So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.

We ought not to tolerate for a minute the ghastly and grievous thought that God will not answer prayer.

You never have to drag mercy out of Christ, as money from a miser.

Prayer is an art which only the Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer.

The good man has his enemies. He would not be like His Lord if he had not. If we were without enemies we might fear that we were not the friends of God, for friendship of the world is enmity to God.

Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.

May your character not be a writing upon the sand, but an inscription upon the rock!
