Pithy gems from J.R. Miller

The goal of Christian life is not to avoid troubles, disappointments, sorrows and injuries-but in all these experiences, to keep free from sin and stain.

Ten minutes spent every morning with Christ-yes, even three minutes, if they are spent really with Him-change everything for the day!

Christian! Christ is your truest and best friend. Prayer is simply your little talk with Christ, as you would sit down with any dear, tender, close and trusted human friend for a little talk.

The sweetest life is the one which nestles the most quietly and unquestioningly in the bosom of Jesus.

Jesus does not require anything more than a child-like trust in Him as Savior, Master and Friend-and the devotion of the life to Him.

The mercy of God is infinite! He is infinitely patient with our weaknesses, our infirmities, our faults and failures.
