Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds
If you don't plan to live the Christian life totally committed to knowing your God and to walking in obedience to Him, then don't begin; for this is what Christianity is all about. It is a change of citizenship, a change of governments, a change of allegience. If you have no intention of letting Christ rule your life, then forget Christianity; it's not for you.
The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt but in spite of doubt.
We should strive for steadiness, and for a commitment to God that does not ebb and flow with the years or the crises of our lives.
Come to God for your healing. Don't hesitate. God, who is so full of goodness and supply, is always willing to bless, preserve, heal and restore you.
Heaven is a wonderful place and the benefits for the believer are out of this world!
Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue; God's voice is its most essential part. Listening to God's voice is the secret of the assurance that He will listen to mine.
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.
Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
Apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven.
We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.
Should we not press it home upon our consciences that the sole object of our conversion was not the salvation of our own souls, but that we might become co-workers with our Lord and Master in the conversion of the world?
True religion is not about possessing the truth. No religion does that. It is rather an invitation into a journey that leads one toward the mystery of God. Idolatry is religion pretending that it has all the answers.
Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort me and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
You know that the air and water are being polluted, as is everything we touch and live with, and we go on corrupting the nature that we need. We don't realize we have a commitment to God to take care of nature. To cut down a tree, to waste water when there is so much lack of it, to let buses poison our atmosphere with those noxious fumes from their exhausts, to burn rubbish haphazardly-all that concerns our alliance with God.
If you have the smile of God what does it matter if you have the frown of men?
God's part is to put forth power; our part is to put forth faith.
Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.
Most of all, God has blessed us by giving us the privilege of knowing Him and walking with Him every day. He did this by sending His Son into the world to die for our sins.
