SOCIETY TELLS ME TO LOOK OUT FOR MYSELF. GOD TELLS ME TO LOOK OUT FOR OTHERS AND HE WILL LOOK OUT FOR ME.
THE BIBLE IS A SWORD TO BE USED AGAINST THE ENEMY, NOT A STONE TO EMBOLDEN HYPOCRISY.
DON’T SHINE SO OTHERS CAN SEE YOU… SHINE SO THAT THROUGH YOU, OTHERS SEE HIM.
INSTEAD OF USING “I’M HUMAN” AS AN EXCUSE TO WALK IN THE FLESH, LET US USE “I’M SAVED” AS A REASON TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
I KNOW OF NO BETTER THERMOMETER TO YOUR SPIRITUAL TEMPERATURE THAN THIS, THE MEASURE OF THE INTENSITY OF YOUR PRAYER.
IT’S NOT SO MUCH THAT THE DEVIL TRIES TO LURE US TO DO EVIL, BUT THAT HE TRIES TO OCCUPY OUR MINDS WITH THINGS THAT DON’T MATTER.
EVIDENCE OF GREAT FAITH IS NOT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT AND STILL BEING ABLE TO SAY THANK YOU LORD.
GRACE ISN’T A LITTLE PRAYER YOU SAY BEFORE RECEIVING A MEAL. IT’S A WAY OF LIFE.
SATAN SAYS: LOOK AT YOUR SIN. GOD SAYS: LOOK AT MY SON.
DON’T STAY IN THE BOAT WHEN GOD’S CALLING YOU TO STEP OUT ON THE WATER.
WATER CUTS THROUGH ROCK, NOT BECAUSE OF IT’S STRENGTH, BUT BECAUSE OF IT’S PERSISTENCE.
I LOVE JESUS BECAUSE IN OUR CRAZY MESSY WORLD, HE IS MY PEACE.
I MAY LOSE SOME BATTLES, BUT I WILL NOT LOSE MY FAITH, NOR THE WILL TO KEEP GOING WITH MY GOD.
OUR JOB IS TO LOVE PEOPLE… …WITHOUT STOPPING TO QUESTION IF THEY ARE WORTHY OF OUR LOVE OR NOT.
THANK YOU LORD FOR MY STRUGGLES, FOR WITHOUT THEM, I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN MY STRENGTHS.
I WANT TO BE SO FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WHEN A MOSQUITO BITES ME, IT FLIES AWAY SINGING THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD.
[CHRISTIANS], AT THEIR BEST, KNOW THAT OFTEN THEY DON'T KNOW. THEY DO NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. THEY DO NOT HAVE GOD IN THEIR POCKET.
WE CANNOT ANSWER EVERY QUESTION THAT ANY BRIGHT BOY IN THE BACK ROW MIGHT ASK. WE HAVE ONLY LIGHT ENOUGH TO WALK BY.
A SCIENCE WHICH DOES NOT BRING US NEARER TO GOD IS WORTHLESS.
THE ELEMENTS OF PRAYER|ITS GROUND: GOD, BY WHOSE GOODNESS IT SPRINGETH IN US. |ITS USE: TO TURN OUR WILL TO
HIS WILL. |ITS END: TO BE MADE ONE WITH HIM AND LIKE TO HIM IN ALL THINGS.
A MAN WHO PRAYS WITHOUT CEASING, IF HE ACHIEVES SOMETHING, KNOWS WHY HE ACHIEVED IT, AND CAN TAKE NO PRIDE IN
IT... FOR HE CANNOT ATTRIBUTE IT TO HIS OWN POWERS, BUT ATTRIBUTES ALL HIS ACHIEVEMENTS TO GOD, ALWAYS RENDERS THANKS
TO HIM AND CONSTANTLY CALLS UPON HIM, TREMBLING LEST HE BE DEPRIVED OF HELP.
THE PRIMARY OBJECT OF PRAYER IS TO KNOW GOD BETTER; WE AND OUR NEEDS SHOULD COME SECOND.
PRAYER IS A WINE WHICH MAKES GLAD THE HEART OF MAN.
JESUS IS OUR MOUTH, THROUGH WHICH WE SPEAK TO THE FATHER; HE IS OUR EYE,
THROUGH WHICH WE SEE THE FATHER; HE IS OUR RIGHT HAND THROUGH WHICH WE OFFER OURSELVES TO THE FATHER.
UNLESS HE INTERCEDES, THERE IS NO INTERCOURSE WITH GOD.
CHRISTIANS ARE LIKE THE FLOWERS IN A GARDEN, THAT HAVE EACH OF THEM THE DEW OF HEAVEN, WHICH,
BEING SHAKEN WITH THE WIND, THEY LET FALL AT EACH OTHER'S ROOTS, WHEREBY THEY ARE JOINTLY NOURISHED,
AND BECOME NOURISHERS OF EACH OTHER.
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT SPECIAL PROVIDENCES. I BELIEVE IN THE PROVIDENCES, BUT NOT IN THE SPECIALITY.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD LETS THE THREAD OF MY AFFAIRS GO FOR SIX DAYS, AND ON THE SEVENTH
EVENING TAKES IT UP FOR A MOMENT.
THAT WISDOM WHICH CANNOT TEACH ME THAT GOD IS LOVE, SHALL EVER PASS FOR FOLLY.
IT'S BAD WHEN YOU FAIL MORALLY. IT'S WORSE WHEN YOU DON'T REPENT.
HUMILITY IS THE ROOT, MOTHER, NURSE, FOUNDATION, AND BOND OF ALL VIRTUE.
CHRIST CAME, NOT SO MUCH TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, AS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A GOSPEL TO PREACH.
THE GOSPELS DO NOT EXPLAIN THE RESURRECTION — THE RESURRECTION EXPLAINS THE GOSPELS.
THE UNBELIEVING MIND WOULD NOT BE CONVINCED BY ANY PROOF, AND THE WORSHIPING HEART NEEDS NONE.
