Our identification with Christ should be that whatever He is we also want to become.
I cannot recall, in any of my reading, a single instance of a prophet who applied for the job.
We ought not to be looking for a place to hide, but a place to give ourselves as an offering to God.
I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.
God knows instantly and effortlessly all matter and all matters, all mind and every mind, all spirit and all spirits, all being and every being, all creaturehood and all creatures, every plurality and all pluralities, all law and every law, all relations, all causes, all thoughts, all mysteries, all enigmas, all feeling, all desires, every unuttered secret, all thrones and dominions, all personalities, all things visible and invisible in heaven and in earth, motion, space, time, life, death, good, evil, heaven, and hell.
The trouble is that the whole 'accept Christ' attitude is likely to be wrong. It shows Christ applying to us rather than us to him. It makes him stand hat-in-hand awaiting our verdict on him, instead of our kneeling with troubled hearts awaiting his verdict on us. It may even permit us to accept Christ by an impulse of mind or emotions, painlessly, at no loss to our ego and no inconvenience to our usual way of life.
The man or woman who is wholly or joyously surrendered to Christ can't make a wrong choice/any choice will be the right one.
God's purpose in redemption is to make worshipers out of rebels.
Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.
We are here to affirm, not to deny... when we affirm all that is God, all that is not God is automatically denied.
As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor. It can keep a missionary actively winning lost men to the light of the gospel and thus transmute itself into heavenly values. Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality.
Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting.
If [something] is of God, your dependence upon God will increase.
The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.
Unsaintly saints are the tragedy of Christianity.
In the conduct of our public worship where is the authority of Christ to be found? The truth is that today the Lord rarely controls a service, and the influence He exerts is very small. We sing of Him and preach about Him, but He must not interfere; we worship our way, and it must be right because we have always done it that way, as have the other churches in our group.
Man doesnt have the patience or the power to wait. But God does. He has all eternity to accomplish His purposes.
God cannot use a man or woman greatly until he wounds them deeply.
There is more healing joy in five minutes of true worship than in five nights of revelry.
An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children.
Wherever the Word comes without power its essential content is missed.
Worship is why we are born and why we are born again.
Love wills the good of all and never wills harm or evil to any
The idea that the Man Christ Jesus has absolute and final authority over the whole church and over all of its members in every detail of their lives is simply not now accepted as true by the rank and file of evangelical Christians
We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second
