How many of us, who are engaged in the Lord’s holy service, are secretly cherishing some proud purpose of excelling other men, of making a name, of securing money and applause.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
If I had my ministry over again, I would devote far more time to the ministry of comfort and encouragement.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
When the Bible itself becomes irksome, inquire whether you have not been spoiling your appetite by sweetmeats and renounce them; and believe that the Word is the wire along which the voice of God will certainly come to you if the heart is hushed and the attention fixed.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
Our God is Jehovah of hosts, who can summon unexpected reinforcements at any moment to aid His people. Believe that He is there between you and your difficulty, and what baffles you will flee before Him, as clouds before the gale.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
He is the richest man in the esteem of the world who has gotten the most. He is the richest man in the esteem of Heaven who has given the most.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
Purity of heart means the control of the imagination and the rigorous care of the affections.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
I believe that if there is one thing which pierces the Master’s heart with unutterable grief, it is not the world’s iniquity, but the Church’s indifferences.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
Temptation may even be a blessing to a man when it reveals to him his weakness and drives him to the almighty Savior. Do not be surprised, then, dear child of God, if you are tempted at every step of your earthly journey, and almost beyond endurance; but you will not be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, and with every temptation there will be a way of escape.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
There is nothing the Church of today needs so much as Spiritual Power; and there is nothing which we can have so easily, if only we are prepared to pay the price.
F. B. Meyer (Pastor/Evangelist, 1847 – 1929)
What that price is, is to forsake sin, to pray in the Spirit and to expect the unexpected!!! If we obey the LORD and do as He says, then He will continue to pour out His Spirit upon the Church and we shall see the Power demonstrated in our lives.
Jesus Christ has bought us with His blood, but, alas, He has not had His money’s worth! He paid for ALL, and He has had but a fragment of our energy, time and earnings. By an act of consecration, let us ask Him to forgive the robbery of the past, and let us profess our desire to be henceforth utterly and only for Him- His slaves, owning no master other than Himself.
