If God gives you a few more years, remember, it is not yours. Your time must honor God, your home must honor God, your activity must honor God, and everything you do must honor God.
Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.
I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.
Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.
Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.
Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be.
Did you ever stop to think that God is going to be as pleased to have you with Him in Heaven as you are to be there?
When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.
May God grant us a desire for God that supersedes all other desires.
In many churches Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone, and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone!
Most Christians would rather be happy than feel the wounds of other peoples' sorrows.
Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.
True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences.
If your life does not worship God, your lips do not worship God either.
The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.
The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.
Some people's lives would drastically change if they would obey God as strictly as they obey their doctors.
In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.
It is astonishing, how many difficulties clear up without any effort when the inner life gets straightened out. If half the time we spend trying to fix up outward things were spent in getting our hearts right, we would be delighted with the result. Strange as it may seem, harmony within our hearts depends mostly upon our getting into harmony with God.
Come to the Word with a spirit of longing with devotion and humble expectation. Be determined to know God.
What we need very badly these days is a company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as they know they must do at the last day... It would be better to invite God now to remove every false trust, to disengage our hearts from all secret hiding places and to bring us out into the open where we can discover for ourselves whether or not we actually trust Him. That is a harsh cure for our troubles, but it is a sure one. Gentler cures may be too weak to do the work. And time is running out on us.
God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than He is with the state of their feelings.
As God is exalted to the right place in our lives, a thousand problems are solved all at once.
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.
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.
