mean have-confidence
We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
jesus illumination years
To understand a Bible text it takes an act of the Holy Spirit equal to the act that inspired the text in the first place. A revelation of the Holy Spirit in one glorious flash of inward illumination would teach you more of Jesus than five years in a theological seminary.
reform spirit holy
Religion can reform a person’s life, but it can never transform him. Only the Holy Spirit can transform!
spiritual heart men
Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God's dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance.
prayer men doe
Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.
trying sun bright-days
Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.
hurt pain men
It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
heart secret-places voice
Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
christian ideas currents
How utterly terrible is the current idea that Christians can serve God at their own convenience.
ignorance long-ago giving
For myself, I long ago decided that I would rather know the truth than be happy in ignorance. If I can not have both truth and happiness, give me truth. We’ll have a long time to be happy in heaven.
believe apology doe
It is either all of Christ or none of Christ! I believe we need to preach again a whole Christ to the world - a Christ who does not need our apologies, a Christ who will not be divided, a Christ who will either be Lord of all or will not be Lord at all!
christian home world
The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world
fall church disease
Worship, I say, rises or falls with our concept of God .... and if there is one terrible disease in the Church of Christ, it is that we do not see God as great as He is.
believe devil prioritize
The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.
