You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another.
The Christian who is truly intimate with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. This is the outcome of allowing Jesus to satisfy every area of life to its depth. The picture resulting from such a life is that of the strong, calm balance that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him.
The incarnation began with Jesus and it has never stopped . . . God takes on flesh so that every home becomes a church, every child becomes the Christ-child, and all food and drink become a sacrament. God's many faces are now everywhere, in flesh, tempered and turned down, so that our human eyes can see him.
Great moves of God are usually preceded by simple acts of obedience.
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
The Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next.
The Bible says that the devil is like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). He comes in the darkness, and tries to frighten the children of God with his mighty roar. But when you switch on the light of the Word of God, you discover that there is no lion. There is only a mouse with a microphone! The devil is an imposter. Got it?
When God created you, He created a dream and wrapped a body around it.
Our pursuit of God is successful just because He is forever seeking to manifest Himself to us.
When you take time with God and listen to His voice, He renews your strength and enables you to handle life.
Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words, "in Christ."
I feel it is far better to begin with God, to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another. In general it is best to have at least one hour alone with God before engaging in anything else.
We must be faithful to the present moment or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives.
The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayer-less religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Satan, the Hinderer, may build a barrier about us, but he can never roof us in, so that we cannot look up.
What makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving, never giving out anything. Why is it that many Christians are cold? Because they are all the time receiving, never giving out anything.
Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.
The worst forms of depression are cured when Holy Scripture is believed.
God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.
What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.
The pursuit of holiness is a joint venture between God and the Christian. No one can attain any degree of holiness without God working in his life, but just as surely no one will attain it without effort on his own part.
Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.
I have since learned that the most mature believer is the one who is bent over, leaning most heavily on the Lord, and admitting his total inability to do anything without Christ. The greatest Christian is not the one who has achieved the most but rather the one who has received the most.
