What They Said

“……look upon God when you come to worship him in his incomprehensible being; that is, as a God that fills all places, his being is as real in the room that we are praying in, the place that we are meeting in as it is in heaven.”

"Grace will teach men & women to be meek & gentle when they are personally crossed, but grace will never teach them not to be angry when God is dishonored."

"There is no work which God has made - the sun, moon, stars and all the world - in which so much of the glory of God appears as in a man who lives quietly in the midst of adversity."

“A gracious heart so esteems it’s union with Christ that it will not willingly suffer anything to come in an choke it.”

"The more you are near to God in the duties of worship, the more you are in heaven."

“Let our hearts be for God alone, for God alone is enough to satisfy our hearts, to supply all good unto us for ever.”

“Contentment is an INTERNAL thing. It lies within a man; not in the bark—but the root. Contentment has both its fountain and stream in the soul. The beams of comfort which a contented man has, do not arise from foreign comforts—but from within.”

“Contentment is a DIVINE thing. It becomes ours, not by acquisition—but as a gift from God. It is a slip taken off from the tree of life, and planted by the Spirit of God in the soul. It is a fruit that grows not in the garden of human learning—but is of a heavenly birth.”

“Be sure to set the presence of God before you in prayer.  Have a real sight of the infinite greatness, majesty, and glory of that one whom you present yourselves unto when you are calling on Him.”

“The glory of God should be the chief matter we are to pray for………..Begin with the Glory of God.  Mind that in the chief place above all things.”

“God has appointed HIs Word to be the great ordinance to convey the special mercies that He intends for the good of His people.”

“If you would sanctify the name of God in hearing His Word, turn it into practice, or otherwise the name of God is blasphemed, or at least is taken in vain by you if you do not turn what you hear into practice.”

“Again, when you come to hear the Word, come with the resolution to yield to whatever God shall reveal to be His mind..”

"Yea, but we have waited a long time.  Well, but yet know that you are at the right door."

“There must be a preparation of the soul so that when you come to hear you may receive the Word with all readiness.  The Soul must be made ready.  Acts 17:11 “These were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind.””

“In hearing God’s Word we profess our dependence upon God for the knowing of His mind and he way to eternal life.”

"A place is said to be sanctified when it is separated from other things for God; so also the blessing of God is upon all my possessions, upon all that I own, when it all works for God's glory and my ultimate good.  That is when it becomes sanctified to me."

"Therefore a godly man, who has learned by the grace of God how to be full, accounts himself to be made rich by sharing whatever fullness God has given him, for the glory of His name and for the good of others."

"A godly heart discovers that the more often anything comes from God's hand, the better and sweeter it is.  Therefore, he is willing to regularly give up what he has into God's hand."

"If adversity has slain her thousands, prosperity has slain her ten thousands."
