Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.

Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.

Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.

Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish

The possessions God allows us to have are intended for our use, not our enjoyment. Trying to squeeze something out of them that was never in them in the first place is a futile endeavor. A cow's udders, gently pressed, will yield sweet milk, nourishing and refreshing. Applying more and more pressure will not produce greater quantities of milk. We lose the good of material things by expecting too much from them. Those who try hardest to please themselves with earthly goods find the least satisfaction in them.

We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.

CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.
