The Natural Mind

The natural mind is prone to reason when we ought to believe, to be at work when we ought to be quiet, or to go our own way when we ought to steadily walk in God's ways.

A Word of Warning to Believers

I must offer a word of warning to believers. Often the work of the Lord itself may tempt us away from communion with Him. A full schedule of preaching, counseling, and travel can erode the strength of the mightiest servant of the Lord.

The Autobiography of George Muller

How to Not Labor in Vain

The Lord always helps me when I preach, provided I have earnestly sought Him in private...Whenever I study a single part of divine truth, I always gain some light about it after praying and meditating over it. Extensive prayer is often difficult because of the weakness of the flesh, physical infirmitiees, and a full schedule. But no one should expect to see much good resulting from his labors if he does not spend time in prayer and meditation.
