gratitude sight offering
Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it.
christian spiritual world
Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.
journey thinking my-journey
To know that God thinks about me is the beginning of my journey of faith.
reality cities voice
We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.
eye creator
Beauty is in the eye of the Creator.
peace-with-god saving scripture
God's redemptive revelation in Scripture is necessary to saving faith and peace with God. Faith in a risen Savior is necessary if the vague stirrings toward immortality are to bring us to restful and satisfying communion with God.
leadership voice ideals
The ideal leader is one who hears the voice of God, and beckons on as the voice calls him and them.
children heart soul
To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.
worship performances
By nature, worship is not some performance we do, but a presence we experience.
believe important tragedy
I do not recall another period when ‘faith’ was as popular as it is today. ‘If only we believe hard enough we'll make it somehow.’ So goes the popular chant. What you believe is not important. Only believe... What is overlooked in all this is that faith is good only when it engages truth; when it is made to rest upon falsehood it can and often does lead to eternal tragedy. For it is not enough that we believe; we must believe the right thing about the right One.
christian spiritual kings
In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.
heaven together would-be
All the problems of heaven and earth, though they were to confront us together and at once, would be nothing compared with that overwhelming problem of God: That He is; what He is like; and what we as moral beings must do about Him.
trying arms throwing
We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.
christian strong knowledge-of-god
The Christian is strong or weak depending upon how closely he has cultivated the knowledge of God.
