July 24 Afternoon Quotes of The Day

Prayer and Sinning
Matthew 6:5–13; Mark 11:25

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

How Frail Is Human Nature!
Romans 3:27; 1 Corinthians 4:7; 2 Corinthians 3:5

How great is the frailty of human nature which is ever prone to evil! Today you confess your sins and tomorrow you again commit the sins which you confessed. One moment you resolve to be careful, and yet after an hour you act as though you had made no resolution. We have cause, therefore, because of our frailty and feebleness, to humble ourselves and never think anything great of ourselves.
