capacity behinds
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
jesus judging use
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.
dream jesus love-you
Beware of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave him to be the source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.
jesus keys missionary
The key to the missionary's work is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the lost. We are inclined to look on our Lord as one who assists us in our endeavors for God. Yet our Lord places Himself as the absolute sovereign and supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say that the lost will never be saved if we don't go- He simply says, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...."
spiritual eye giving
It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.
spiritual life-is certain
The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty.
upset ifs happens
If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
jesus law balance
Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
jesus christ eternity
There is nothing more certain in Time or Eternity than what Jesus Christ did on the Cross.
jesus ideas perfection
There is only one way by which I can get right with God, and that is through the death of Jesus Christ. I must get rid of the underlying idea that I can ever be right with God because of my obedience. Who of us could ever obey God to absolute perfection!
jesus lord born
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
complaining explanation no-complaining
God expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part.
disease red weakness
Sin is not weakness, it is a disease; it is red-handed rebellion against God and the magnitude of that rebellion is expressed by Calvary's cross.
opinion
Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions.
