jesus opinion said
Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.
jesus blessed mean
My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. When once God's Redemption comes to the point of obedience in a human soul, it always creates. If I obey Jesus Christ, the Redemption of God will rush through me to other lives, because behind the deed of obedience is the Reality of Almighty God.
determination reality lord
Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.
jesus men soul
When you meet a man or woman who puts Jesus Christ first, knit that one to your soul.
greatness notes creeds
'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.
christ devotion threat
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
waste asking wasting-time
Don't waste time asking God to keep you from doing things. Don't do them.
dream views opposites
We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. His purpose is that I depend on HIM and in HIS power NOW. His end is the process. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God....His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the 'afterwards' of obedience. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present; if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.
appreciation deliverance bases
The only basis on which to work for God is an esteemed appreciation of his deliverance.
determination mean pride
Earnestness is not by any means everything; it is very often a subtle form of pious pride because it is obsessed with the method and not with the Master.
deeds good-deeds good-things
We are not to preach the doing of good things; good deeds are not to be preached, they are to be performed.
voice perfect zephyr
The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.
action
Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.
jesus men blood
When Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross, it was not the blood of a martyr; or the blood of one man for another; it was the life of God poured out to redeem the world.
