All your anxiety, all your care,
Bring to the mercy seat; leave it there.
Never a burden He cannot bear;
Never a friend like Jesus!
Edward Henry Joy(1871-1949)
Oh, for a new anointing,
oh, for a heavenly flame -
oh, for a new anointing,
to magnify Thy Name.
Oh, for sin and self to cease,
oh, for a sense of inward peace,
oh, for thy glory to increase,
Saviour, anoint me now.
Joseph Templeton
Unless our faith makes us pine after holiness, it is no better than the faith of devils – Spurgeon
Christian ministers are not priests, nor mediators between God and man. They are not agents into whose hands men may commit their souls, and carry on their religion by deputy. They are witnesses. They are intended to bear testimony to God’s truth, and specially to the great truth that Christ is the only Savior and light of the world. This was Peter’s ministry on the day of Pentecost. “With many other words did he testify“ (Acts 2:40). This was the whole tenor of Paul’s ministry. “He testified both to the Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21). Unless a Christian minister bears a full testimony to Christ, he is not faithful to his office. ~ J.C. Ryle
We must meet the uncertainties of this world with the certainty of the world to come - A. W. Tozer
