His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. -- JER.20:9. Necessity is laid upon me; yea woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. -- They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, . . . We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. -- The love of Christ constraineth us. I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth . . . Thou wicked and slothful servant, . . . thou oughtest . . . to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Go . . . to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee. I Cor.9:16,18. -Acts 4:18-20. -II Cor.5:14.Matt.25:25-27.Mark 5:19. |
