When the Holy Spirit is in full control of our lives, He will expect our obedience to the written Word of God. But it is part of our human problem that we would like to be full of the Spirit and yet go on and do as we please!
Holy is the way God is. To be holy He does not conform to a standard. He IS that standard.
You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.
To know God is to fear Him. And this fear is to love Him as He deserves to be loved.
The world is waiting to hear an authentic voice, a voice from God- not an echo of what others are doing and saying, but an authentic voice.
God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.
The man who preaches truth and applies it to the lives of his hearers will feel the nails and the thorns. He will lead a hard life, but a glorious one. May God raise up many such prophets. The church needs them badly.
Every man is as holy as he really wants to be.
We modern Christians are long on talk and short on conduct.
Our identification with Christ should be that whatever He is we also want to become.
What we think about when we are free to think about what we will – that is what we are or will soon become.
The good news isn't that God is victorious. How can He not be victorious? The good news is we can be victorious, too.
Deliverance can come to us only by the defeat of our old life. Safety and peace come only after we have been forced to our knees. God rescues us by breaking us, by shattering our strength and wiping out our resistance.
Christians aren't finished products. We're God's sons and daughters in process.
God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called "The Word." The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind.
Men are free to decide their own moral choices, but they are also under the necessity to account to God for those choices.
If we can trust the sufferings of Christ for our sake then we can trust Christ when we suffer for His sake.
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.
We are sent to bless the world, but we are never told to compromise with it.
If JESUS cannot control you, HE cannot save you. And if HE cannot control ALL of you HE cannot control any of you.
Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.
I can't sing a lick but that's nobody's business. God listens when I sing to Him and He thinks I am an opera star.
Judas Iscariot was not a greatly wicked person, just a common money-lover, and like most money-lovers, he did not understand Christ.
And what kind of habitation pleases God? What must our natures be like before he can feel at home within us? He asks nothing but a pure heart and a single mind. He asks no rich paneling, no rugs from the Orient, no art treasures from afar. He desires but sincerity, transparency, humility, and love. He will see to the rest.
There are rare Christians whose very presence incites others to be better Christians. I want to be that rare Christian.
