God’s voice speaking tenderly to our hearts today is the same voice that powerfully called creation into being.
We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so. God meant that a convert should learn to be a worshiper, and after that he can learn to be a worker...The work done by a worshiper will have eternity in it.
A scared world needs a fearless church.
We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.
I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.
When we allow God to be exalted in our difficulties we are in the perfect place to smell the fragrance of His Presence.
Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it.
Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.
God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called "The Word." The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind.
What is wrong with Christians today is that we have the gifts of God but have forgotten the God of the gifts.
God's plan will continue on God's schedule.
The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation.
It is astonishing, how many difficulties clear up without any effort when the inner life gets straightened out. If half the time we spend trying to fix up outward things were spent in getting our hearts right, we would be delighted with the result. Strange as it may seem, harmony within our hearts depends mostly upon our getting into harmony with God.
Why do some persons 'find' God in a way that others do not? Why does God manifest His Presence to some and let multitudes of others struggle along in the half-light of imperfect Christian experience? Of course the will of God is the same for all. He has no favorites within His household. All He has ever done for any of His children He will do for all of His children. The difference lies not with God but with us.
My aim each day is to adore God more than anything else.
The big problem is not whether the Bible is true. The big problem is whether it is true in you.
Walking in humility isn't focusing on what we are NOT; rather, it's declaring what God is.
The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.
What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them...we must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.
Some people's lives would drastically change if they would obey God as strictly as they obey their doctors.
The Christian woman should remember that she cannot buy true attractiveness; that radiance which really shines forth in beauty is of the heart and spirit and not of the body.
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary.
To be entirely safe from the devil's snares the man of God must be completely obedient to the Word of the Lord. The driver on the highway is safe, not when he reads the signs but when he obeys them.
If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.
