The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.
If your life does not worship God, your lips do not worship God either.
We can seek God and find him! God is knowable, touchable, hearable, seeable, with the mind, the hands, the ears and the eyes of the inner man.
Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it.
Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.
Pay no heed to the passing religious vogue. Go back to the grass roots. Open your hearts and search the Scriptures. Bear your cross, follow your Lord. The masses are always wrong. In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.
Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.
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.
The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world
God wants us to know that when we have Him, we have everything.
I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.
Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.
The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us; rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.
Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.
God's plan will continue on God's schedule.
God never uses anyone greatly until He tests them deeply.
The best preparation for worship is not a rehearsal, but surrender.
Worshipers never leave church...we carry our sanctuary with us wherever we go.
Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.
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.
Religion can reform a person’s life, but it can never transform him. Only the Holy Spirit can transform!
God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible - what a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.
God’s voice speaking tenderly to our hearts today is the same voice that powerfully called creation into being.
For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.
