“There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend; Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde; But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe; The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.” MayWealthPerfectFriendsPureGoldFortuneTreasureFaithfulWoeWorldlyFaithful Friends Author:Marcus Tullius Cicero
“It is true that every day has its own evil, and its good too. But how difficult must life be, especially farther on when the evil of each day increases as far as worldly things go, if it is not strengthened and comforted by faith. And in Christ all worldly things may become better, and, as it were, sanctified. Theo, woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel; if I did not aim at that and possess faith and hope in Christ, it would be bad for me indeed, but no I have some courage.” IfsMayWould BeLife IsEvilDifficultChristIncreaseAimEach DayWoeWorldlyHope And FaithWorldly ThingsWoe Is MeHope In Christ Author:Vincent Van Gogh
“He that can toy with his ministry and count it to be like a trade, or like any other profession, was never called of God. But he that has a charge pressing on his heart, and a woe ringing in his ear, and preaches as though he heard the cried of hell behind him, and saw his God looking down on him-oh, how that man entreats the Lord that his hearers may not hear in vain!” MenHeartMayReligionBehindsChristianityLordHellSawsHeardEarsTradeProfessionVainToysCriedMinistryWoeLooking DownPressing On Book:The Complete Works of C.
