John Bunyan on the Life of a Christian

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 5:30 AM

“O soul, consider this deeply--it is the life of a Christian which carries more conviction and persuasion than his words. Though, like an angel, you talk of Christ, of the gospel, of the doctrines of grace, and of Heaven--yet, if you indulge devilish tempers, and live under the power of any sinful lusts and passions--you will hereby harden others against the things of God and prevent their setting out in the ways of God. Study and pray to be a consistent walker in the ways of holiness; else, all is but windy profession and airy talk.”

"Hearing is but as the sowing of the seed; talking is not sufficient to prove that fruit is indeed in the heart and life: and let us assure ourselves that at the day of doom men shall be judged according to their fruits it will not be said then, 'Did you believe?' but, 'Were you Doers, or Talkers only ?' and accordingly shall they be judged. The end of the world is compared to our harvest; and you know men at harvest regard nothing but fruit.  Not that any thing can be accepted that is not of faith;….".

John Bunyan on the Fear of God

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 8:00 AM


“Christian, let God's distinguishing love to you be a motive to you to fear Him greatly. He has put His fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent. Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord! Remember also that this fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favorites, and to those who are greatly beloved.”
John Bunyan
