Faith is not a conclusion you reach...it's a journey you live.
Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.
A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.
Whenever God begins something, we have the assurance that He will finish it. Nothing will stand in the way of Him accomplishing His purpose in this world and in our lives. What God starts, He finishes, and nobody can hinder Him. Sure, delays will happen. Just remember, God is in charge of the delays as well as the progress.
God's Word is true whether we believe it or not. Human unbelief cannot alter the character of God.
What's closest to your heart is what you talk about, and if God is close to your heart, you'll talk about Him.
A real Christian in an odd number anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen, talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see, expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another, empties himself in order to be full, admits he is wrong so he can be declared right, goes down in order to get up, is strongest when he is weakest, richest when he is poorest, and happiest when he feels worst. He dies so he can live, forsakes in order to have, gives away so he can keep, sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, and knows that which passes knowledge.
Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.
People who are crucified with Christ have three distinct marks: 1. they are facing only one direction, 2. they can never turn back, and 3. they no longer have plans of their own.
We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
The best preparation for worship is not a rehearsal, but surrender.
Sometimes when we get overwhelmed we forget how big God is.
The driver on the highway is safe not when He reads the signs, but when He obeys them.
In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.
When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.
Anything God has ever done, he can do now. Anything God has ever done anywhere, he can do here. Anything God has ever done for anyone, he can do for you.
If God gives you a few more years, remember, it is not yours. Your time must honor God, your home must honor God, your activity must honor God, and everything you do must honor God.
Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.
Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.
Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.
Most Christians don't hear God's voice because we've already decided we aren't going to do what He says.
Rules for Self Discovery: 1. What we want most; 2. What we think about most; 3. How we use our money; 4. What we do with our leisure time; 5. The company we enjoy; 6. Who and what we admire; 7. What we laugh at.
Holiness has nothing to do with what we know and everything to do with Who we know.
Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.
It is dangerous to be so busy that you have no time to wait on God.
