Oh for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace! My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honors of thy name. Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease; ’tis music in the sinner’s ears, ’tis life, and health, and peace.
Charles Wesley (Poet, 1707 – 1788)
Come, thou long expected Jesus, born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in thee. Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art, dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.
Charles Wesley (Poet, 1707 – 1788)
The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was not written by good men, because good men would not tell lies by saying ‘Thus saith the Lord;’ it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin, and themselves to hell; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration.
Charles Wesley (Poet, 1707 – 1788)
Amazing Love! how can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Charles Wesley (Poet, 1707 – 1788)
I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
George Muller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were of no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer…
George Muller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
My business is, with all my might to serve my own generation; in doing so I shall best serve the next generation, should the Lord Jesus tarry… The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing, in comparison with eternity, for reaping.
George Muller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
God is the author of the Bible, and only the truth it contains will lead people to true happiness.
George Muller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also. If the Holy Ghost guides us at all, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.
George Muller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.
George Muller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
