Christianity is not about how to escape from the difficulties of life - it is about how to face the difficulties of life.
We find Christ in all the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is predicted, in the Gospels He is revealed, in Acts He is preached, in the epistles He is explained, and in Revelation He is expected.
Faith is not a soft option offered to people who need a crutch to get through the rest of their lives. Faith is the supernatural activity of God whereby He opens blind eyes, unstops deaf ears, and a man or a woman says- “I see it now. I get it now. I am going to trust in God. I am going to trust in Jesus.
It's all about God. May He forgive us for every time we start to think it's actually all about us.
I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed, but through Jesus Christ I'm more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope.
You will never have a better friend than a friend who points you to Christ.
As I am humbled by my difficulties, so I am strengthened by God's grace.
Death for the Christian is to fall asleep in the arms of Jesus and waking up and finding out that you're home.
It is in our forgiveness of other people’s sins against us that we reveal the fact that we have been truly forgiven by God.
As a result of grace, we have been saved from sin’s penalty. One day we will be saved from sin’s presence. In the meantime we are being saved from sin’s power.
There are times in our Christian life when we cannot see beyond the next step and we have to trust God.
When grace begins to rule, then our preoccupation with ourselves begins to leave.
What kind of wonderful God is this who reaches down into the lives of people, picks them up, grants them faith, and changes them!
Prayer is an acknowledgment that our need of God's help is not partial but total.
A Christian way of thinking is not just thinking Christian thoughts, singing Christian songs, reading Christian books, going to Christian schools; it is learning to think about the whole spectrum of life from the perspective of a mind that has been trained in truth.
God is not counting our sins against us because He is counting our sins against Christ.
I only need a mirror to see a sinner.
It is impossible to serve God without serving one another.
You don’t know who you are until you know God and you don’t know how to live until you've settled the question of how to die.
When we become captive to the Word of God, then we discover true freedom.
I do not come to God so that Jesus can give me what I want. But I must come to God so that Jesus will grant me what I need.
Unfortunately, preachers who distort God's Word are all too common today. Sometimes this springs from a sincere desire to soften hard hearts, but hearts aren't changed by compromise.
We may be confident in this: that in the pain of our suffering is the presence of a faithful God.
Despite the obvious emphasis of Scripture (in regard to suffering), we are bombarded by suggestions that the 'successful' Christian living takes place in the realm of constant victory, health, wholeness, and financial prosperity. In response to this we are not to pretend that suffering doesn’t exist or that it might be instantly cured. Such notions are the product of empty heads and closed Bibles.
Many of us are tempted to find the key in doing, but the answer is actually found in being. It is vital that we are routinely humbled by the reminder that Christian life is grounded, not in what we can do, but what has been done for us and what we need done to us.
