strong jesus men
God's grace turns out men and women with a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, not milksops.
christian giving-up rights
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
prayer son men
We hear it said that a man will suffer in his life is he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the life of the Son of God within him, which is nourished not by food but by prayer...Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.
jesus mean christ
To identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.
jesus men gone
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
prayer order perfect
Prayer is not getting things from God. That is a most initial stage; prayer is getting into perfect communion with God: I tell Him what I know He knows in order that I may get to know it as He does.

Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.

It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
jesus example today
Today Jesus Christ is being dispatched as the Figurehead of a Religion, a mere example. He is that, but he is infinitely more; He is salvation itself, He is the Gospel of God.

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you.
jesus pain people
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person ...... the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
christian strong jesus
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.
god attitude men
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
spiritual father men
Our Lord's first obedience was to the will of his Father, not to the needs of men; the saving of men was the natural outcome of his obedience to the Father.
