As the excellence of steel is strength, and the excellence of art is beauty, so the excellence of mankind is moral character.
The man who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems.
God expects us to measure the church not against tradition but against the standards & promises of His Word.
I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.
I fear that for the most part people are worshiping worship rather than worshiping God and communing with Him.
The Bible is the written word of God, and because it is written it is confined and limited by the necessities of ink and paper and leather. The Voice of God, however, is alive and free as the sovereign God is free. 'The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.' The life is in the speaking words. God's word in the Bible can have power only because it corresponds to God's Word in the universe. It is the present Voice which makes the written word powerful. Otherwise it would lie locked in slumber within the covers of a book.
It is either all of Christ or none of Christ! I believe we need to preach again a whole Christ to the world - a Christ who does not need our apologies, a Christ who will not be divided, a Christ who will either be Lord of all or will not be Lord at all!
Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.
What I cannot know by reason, I can know by simply believing.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear. Fear is a painful emotion that arises at the thought that we may be harmed or made to suffer. As long as we must trust for survival to our ability to out look or out maneuver the enemy, we have every good reason to be afraid. Fear is torment. To know that love is of God and to enter into the secret place leaning upon the arm of the Beloved, this and only this can cast out fear.
The key to prayer is simply praying.
It's time for us to rise up, get out of the rut and routine, and begin to take our Christian faith seriously.
If I empty out half of my life, God can only fill half...God will fill as much of us as we allow Him to fill.
God's Kingdom isn't divided into areas of important people and areas of little people. In God's sight, everyone's needful.
The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.
To treat an imperfect brother (or sister) impatiently is to advertise our own imperfections.
Maybe God is calling you to do something extraordinary that isn't on your calendar; something to revive your soul!
A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.
Light means nothing to a blind man.
We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.
When God brings all things to light, you will discover just how significant you've been in God's plan.
Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.
No religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.
I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.
Whatever God felt about anything, He still feels. Whatever He thought about anyone, He still thinks. Whatever He approved, He still approves. Whatever He condemned, He still condemns. Today we have what they call the relativity of morals. But remember this God never changes. Holiness and righteousness are conformity to the will of God. And the will of God never changes for moral creatures.
