Bunyan about Sin and Repentance

Image
Mr. John Bunyan’s Words and sayings Published in Offor’s 1861 edition of Bunyan’s Works. SIN Sin is the great block and hindrance to our happiness, the procurer of all miseries to man, both here and hereafter. Take away sin, and nothing can hurt us; for the wages of sin is death -temporal, spiritual, and eternal. Sin, and man for sin, is the object of the wrath of God. How dreadful, therefore, must his case be who continues in sin! For who can bear or grapple with the wrath of God? No sin against God can be little, because it is against the great God of heaven and earth; but if the sinner can find a little god, it may be easy to find little sins. Sin turns all of God’s grace into emptiness; it is the dare of His justice, the rape of His mercy, the mocking of His patience, the spurning of His power, and the contempt of His love. Take heed that you do not allow yourself the freedom to purposefully commit one sin, for that will lead you to another, until, by beco...

Pray - in truth

Image
From Reuben A. Torrey's book: "How to pray" From the Chapter: Praying and Obeying Psalm 145:18 throws a great deal of light on the question of how to pray. The Lord is near unto all those that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. That little expression "in truth" is worthy of study. If you will take your concordance and go through the Bible, you will find that this expression means “in reality” or “in sincerity.” The prayer that God answers is the prayer that is real — the prayer that asks for something that is sincerely desired. Much prayer is insincere. People ask for things that they do not want. Many women are praying for the conversion of their husbands who do not really want their husbands to be converted. They think they do, but if they knew what would be involved in the conversion of their husbands, how it would necessitate an entire change in their manner of doing business, and how consequently it would reduce the...

Imádkozz - de igazán

Image
Részlet Reuben A. Torrey könyvéből: "Hogyan imádkozzunk" Néhány gondolat az Imádkozás és engedelmesség c. fejezetből A Zsoltárok 145:18 sok fényt vet arra a kérdésre, hogyan imádkozzunk. Közel van az ÚR mindenkihez, aki hívja, mindenkihez, aki igazán* hívja. *igazul, az igazságban, hűségben Ezt a kis kifejezést, hogy "az igazságban" érdemes tanulmányozni. Ha fogod a konkordanciádat, és végigmész a Biblián, azt fogod találni, hogy ez a kifejezés azt jelenti, hogy "valóságban" {magyarul még: valóságos igazságban, való igazságban is használatos}, vagy azt jelenti: "őszintén". Az az ima, amelyre Isten válaszol, az az ima, amelyik valódi - az az ima, amelyik olyasmit kér, amit őszintén kíván. Sok ima nem őszinte. Az emberek olyan dolgokat kérnek, amiket nem akarnak. Sok nő imádkozik a férje megtéréséért, de ők valójában nem akarják, hogy a férjük megtérjen. Azt hiszik, hogy akarják, de ha tudnák, hogy mivel járna a férj...

The Birth of The Music

Image
T  he music – the audible music – starts with a raw material, chosen by the manufacturer. The wood, the plank was chosen to be a violin. Not only for its beauty and flawlessness but also for the tradition of man's craft. This gives birth to the Art, gives birth to the shape and elegance, gives birth to the music. It's a well-known story when a violinist gives a concert in the Italian home county of the violin. In the morning, he starts his daily practice at his lodgings and, completely stunned, suddenly stops. He has a "different violin" in his hand. The violin that has come home. Of course, the smart egg-heads will tell you that this is related to the wood's home environment, the humidity, the air and the temperature. But... we musicians know: it's much simpler, than that. The violin is at home and now all the wonders that the master dreamed into the shape centuries ago are at once become audible in the almost tangible and new dimensional music and sound...
