Famous Quotes & Sayings

Pat Robertson

The signs of the antichrist spirit are clear. They emerge in this fashion: A significant minority then an actual majority, of the people in a society begin to throw off the restraints of history, then the restraints of written law, then accepted standards of morality, then established religion, and, finally God Himself.

Pat Robertson

Satan . . . is as dangerous as we allow him to be. His primary weapon is deceit, and he uses it to prevent Christians from exercising the authority that is truly theirs in this world.

Pat Robertson

We want...as soon as possible to see a majority of the Republican Party in the hands of pro-family Christians by 1996.

Paul Newman

I wish I could recall with clarity the impulse that compelled me to help bring this camp into being. I'd be pleased if I could announce a motive of lofty purpose. I've been accused of compassion, of altruism, of devotion to Christian, Hebrew, and Muslim ethic, but however desperate I am to claim ownership of a high ideal, I cannot. I wanted, I think, to acknowledge Luck; the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others, made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it.

Paul Engle

Oswald Chambers

The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh

Oswald Chambers

As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens.

Oswald Chambers

All Christians have the Spirit of Christ, but not all Christians have the mind of Christ.

Oswald Chambers

Which are the people who have influenced us most? Not the ones who thought they did, but those who had not the remotest notion that they were influencing us. In the Christian life, the implicit is never conscious, if it is conscious it ceases to have this unaffected loveliness which is the characteristic of the touch of Jesus. We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

Oswald Chambers

The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers

There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.

Oswald Chambers

Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.

Oswald Chambers

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.

Oswald Chambers

The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

Oswald Chambers

How many people have you made homesick for God?

Oswald Chambers

Confidence in the natural world is self-reliance; in the spiritual world, it is God-reliance.

Oswald Chambers

God wants to use us as He used His own Son

Oswald Chambers

If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.

Oswald Chambers

For one man who can introduce another to Jesus Christ by the way he lives and by the atmosphere of his life, there are a thousand who can only talk jargon about him

Oswald Chambers

The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.

Oswald Chambers

A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.

Oswald Chambers

The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.

Oswald Chambers

We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.

Oswald Chambers

Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.

Oswald Chambers

Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point--a great crossroads in our life. From that point we either go more and more toward a slow, lazy, and useless Christian life, or we become more and more on fire, giving our utmost for His highest--our best for His glory.

Oswald Chambers

The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself.

Oswald Chambers

No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.

Oswald Chambers

So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.

Oswald Chambers

The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly.

Oswald Chambers

I have never met the man I could despair of after discerning what lies in me apart from the grace of God.

The secret of Christian quietness is not indifference, but the knowledge that God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget, and worry becomes an impossibility.

Paul Sadler
