The Longer A Soul Hath

Paul Was Nero's Prisoner, But Nero Was Much More God's... But How Does The Great Apostle Spend His Time In Prison?... We Read Of No Dispatches Sent To Court To Procure His Liberty; But Many To The Churches, To Help Them To Stand Fast In The Liberty Wherewith Christ Had Made Them Free... The Devil Had As Good Have Let Paul Alone, For He No Sooner Comes Into Prison But He Falls A Preaching, At Which The Gates Of Satan's Prison Fly Open, And Poor Sinners Come Forth.

Furnish Thyself With Arguments From The Promises To Enforce Thy Prayers, And Make Them Prevalent With God. The Promises Are The Ground Of Faith, And Faith, When Strengthened, Will Make Thee Fervent, And Such Fervency Ever Speeds And Returns With Victory Out Of The Field Of Prayer. The Mightier Any Is In The Word, The More Mighty He Will Be In Prayer.

The Grace Thou Hast Will Soon Be Less, If Thou Addest Not More To It.

The Possessions God Allows Us To Have Are Intended For Our Use, Not Our Enjoyment. Trying To Squeeze Something Out Of Them That Was Never In Them In The First Place Is A Futile Endeavor. A Cow's Udders, Gently Pressed, Will Yield Sweet Milk, Nourishing And Refreshing. Applying More And More Pressure Will Not Produce Greater Quantities Of Milk. We Lose The Good Of Material Things By Expecting Too Much From Them. Those Who Try Hardest To Please Themselves With Earthly Goods Find The Least Satisfaction In Them.

Godliness, As Well As The Doctrine Of Our Faith, Is A Mystery.
