In each of us there are places we have never gone. Only by pressing the limits do you ever find them.
A religion that comes of thought, and study, and deliberate conviction, sticks best. The revivalized convert who is scared in the direction of heaven because he sees hell yawn suddenly behind him, not only regains confidence when his scare is over, but is ashamed of himself for being scared, and often becomes more hopelessly and malignantly wicked than he was before.
Without worship, we go about miserable.
It was the evidence from science and history that prompted me to abandon my atheism and become a Christian.
Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.
The human body is capable of amazing physical deeds. If we could just free ourselves from our perceived limitations and tap into our internal fire, the possibilities are endless.
Most institutions demand unqualified faith; but the institution of science makes skepticism a virtue.
Presence is when you're no longer waiting for the next moment, believing that the next moment will be more fulfilling than this one.
At this very moment, God’s working behind the scenes in your life, arranging things in your favor. Stay in faith!
Ask God to give you the strength to endure, and rest assured, He will take care of you.
We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.
Our pursuit of God is successful just because He is forever seeking to manifest Himself to us.
You may pronounce the sentence upon me, honourable judge, but let the world know that in A.D. 1886, in the State of Illinois, eight men were sentenced to death because they believed in a better future; because they had not lost their faith in the ultimate victory of liberty and justice!
A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God.
One often sees a call only in retrospect. This too is God's design. God often reinforces our faith after we trust him, not before.
God hates the LUKEWARM GOSPEL OF HALF-TRUTHS that is now spreading over the Globe. This gospel says, 'Just believe in Jesus and you'll be Saved. There's nothing more to it.' It ignores the Whole Counsel of God, which speaks of Repenting from former Sins, of Taking up your Cross, of being conformed to the Image of Christ by the refining work of the Holy Spirit. It is totally silent about the Reality of Hell and an After-Death Judgment.
Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.
Christianity does not begin with our pursuit of Christ, but with Christ’s pursuit of us.
This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness
As Elisabeth Elliot points out, not even dying a martyr’s death is classified as extraordinary obedience when you are following a Savior who died on a cross. Suddenly a martyr’s death seems like normal obedience.
Whoever uncouples the religious and the social life has not understood Jesus. Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master.
To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge! To do the will of God is the greatest achievement.
Look at your life. Look at the ways in which you define who you are and what you’re capable of achieving. Look at your goals. Look at the pressures applied by the people around you and the culture in which you were raised. Look again. And again. Keep looking until you realize, within your own experience, that you’re so much more than who you believe you are. Keep looking until you discover the wondrous heart, the marvelous mind, that is the very basis of your being.
I believe passionately that Christianity is a way of life, not a theological system with which one must be in intellectual agreement. I feel that Christ would admit into discipleship anyone who sincerely desired to follow him, and allow that disciple to make his creed out of his experience; to listen, to consider, to pray, to follow, and ultimately to believe only those convictions about which the experience of fellowship made him sure.
