Confession is the sacrament of the tenderness of God, his way of embracing us.
People are stumbling over the simplest things. Take, for instance, that word believeth. You would think that was plain enough for anybody, but all my life I have heard people say, 'I have always believed, and yet I am not saved.' It does not say, 'Whosoever believeth the Bible, or creeds, or even the gospel story,' but it does say, 'Whosoever believeth in him.' What is it to believe in Him? It means to put your soul's confidence in Him, to trust in Him, God's blessed Son.
The man who does not learn to wait upon the Lord and have his thoughts molded by Him will never possess that steady purpose and calm trust, which is essential to the exercise of wise influence upon others, in times of crisis and difficulty.
You are never too lost that God cannot reach you.
God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints.
We are called not to adjust ourselves to each other, but to adjust ourselves to God.
Whether you win or lose, whether you have a good day or bad day, God is with you; He loves you.
When you give, expect nothing from people and everything from Allah.
When you’re not fully trusting in the Lord you’re concerned mostly about rescue. “I’m a Christian, get me out of here!” And the Lord is saying, “You’re kidding, right? I want to teach you who you are in this situation!” In some of our situations, He gives us power and authority to move. In other situations He gives us patience because that works just as powerfully, it’s just going to take a few extra weeks.
If you can believe, worry and anxiety will vanish
A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to 'accept' Christ without forsaking the world.
When you come in contact with the anointing of God, it not only affects your moment, it affects your tomorrow.
Jesus' claims are particularly unnerving, because if they are true there is no alternative but to bow the knee to him.
God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.
Jesus is returning for a bride whose body is in equal proportion to her head.
So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
Psalm 34 says, 'Those who trust in the Lord will never lack any good thing.' This means if you don't have it right now, you don't need it right now. Our attitude should be, 'I'm equipped, empowered and anointed for this moment. I am not lacking, shortchanged or inadequate. I have what I need for today.'
Positive thinking isn't ignoring life's problems, it's understanding that Allah can make a way out for you if you sincerely try.
Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.
When we come to Christ, we’re no longer the most important person in the world to us; Christ is. Instead of living only for ourselves, we have a higher goal: to live for Jesus.
The further I wake into this life, the more I realize that God is everywhere and the extraordinary is waiting quietly beneath the skin of all that is ordinary. Light is in both the broken bottle and the diamond, and music is in both the flowing violin and the water dripping from the drainage pipe. Yes, God is under the porch as well as on top of the mountain, and joy is in both the front row and the bleachers, if we are willing to be where we are.
When God puts something in your heart and deep down you know it’s a destiny moment, don’t wait for ten confirmations. Do what God is asking you to do now.
The Church is not a museum to display perfect people, but a hospital for the hurting.
Dear parents, teach your children to pray. Pray with them.
Your life may have taken a detour, but God is still on the throne. He has brought you this far, and sooner or later, your peace will be restored.
