Quotes about spirit
spiritual fall buddhism
[Buddhism and Christianity] are in one sense parallel and equal; as a mound and a hollow, as a valley and a hill. There is a sense in which that sublime despair is the only alternative to that divine audacity.

And he who does not climb the mountain of Christ does indeed fall into the abyss of Buddha. Gilbert K. Chesterton

The number of the hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. It is our most precious resource.

The more we blame others or external circumstances, the more negative and compromised our energy is likely to be.

spiritual children men
I will say broadly that I have more confidence in the spiritual life of the children that I have received into this church than I have in the, spiritual condition of the adults thus received. I will even go further than that, and say that I have usually found a clearer knowledge of the gospel and a warmer love of Christ in the child-converts than in the man-converts. I will even astonish you still more by saying that I have sometimes met with a deeper spiritual experience in children of ten and twelve than I have in certain persons of fifty and sixty.

spiritual wisdom real
You have seen that the universe is at root a magical illusion and a fabulous game, and that there is no separate "you" to get something out of it, as if life were a bank to be robbed.

For "you" is the universe looking at itself from billions of points of view, points that come and go so that the vision is forever new.
spiritual religious men

spiritual pain artist
Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness. Aiden Wilson Tozer

...revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough.

spiritual angel men
The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.
spiritual congratulations pride
Nothing that comes from God will minister to my pride of self-congratulation.

I have fallen victim to the enemy.
