The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.
God's mercy is boundless, free and, through Jesus Christ our Lord, available to us now in our present situation.
To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men. This is such a common truth that one hesitates to mention it, yet it appears to have been overlooked by the majority of Christians today.
Silence is often the most eloquent answer to our critics.
When Jesus died on the cross the mercy of God did not become any greater. It could not become any greater, for it was already infinite. We get the odd notion that God is showing mercy because Jesus died. No--Jesus died because God is showing mercy. It was the mercy of God that gave us Calvary, not Calvary that gave us mercy. If God had not been merciful there would have been no incarnation, no babe in the manger, no man on a cross and no open tomb.
Every ransomed man owes his salvation to the fact that during his days of sinning, God kept the door of mercy open.
Prayer is the most sacred occupation a person could engage in.
If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.
If you want to be holy then you must give time to God and not just intend to.
You will never be more than a common Christian until you give up your own interest and cease defending yourself.
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.
God tells us to make a sanctuary of our thoughts in which He can dwell.
I am a Bible Christian and if an archangel with a wingspread as broad as a constellation shining like the sun were to come and offer me some new truth, I'd ask him for a reference. If he could not show me where it is found in the Bible, I would bow him out and say, I'm awfully sorry, you don't bring any references with you
Nothing should so occupy the mind of the Christian than discovering God each day.
Wherever faith has eyes to see, there is a smiling presence of the Son of God.
The Christian's heart must be soaked in prayer before the true spiritual fruits begin to grow.
I wish that we might get back to worship again. Then when people come into the church they will instantly sense that they have come among holy people, God's people. They can testify, 'Of a truth God is in this place'
What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?
Breezy, self-confident Christians tell us how wonderful it is to accept Christ and then have a good time all the rest of your life; the Lord won't demand anything of you. Yes, He will, my friend! The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not.
As the excellence of steel is strength, and the excellence of art is beauty, so the excellence of mankind is moral character.
We must never edit God.
I'm not afraid of the devil. The devil can handle me - he's got judo I never heard of. But he can't handle the One to whom I'm joined; he can't handle the One to whom I'm united; he can't handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature.
I can't sing a lick but that's nobody's business. God listens when I sing to Him and He thinks I am an opera star.
Let the seeking man reach a place where life and lips join to say continually, "Be thou exalted," and a thousand minor problems will be solved at once.
When a man falls on his knees and stretches his hands heavenward, he is doing the most natural thing in the world.
