Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.

Beware of making a fetish of consistency to your convictions instead of being devoted to God.
jesus kings men
Satan tried to put Jesus Christ on the way to becoming King of the world and Savior of men in a way other than that predetermined by God.
faith heart giving
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say -- Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.... He simply asks me to have implicit faith in Himself and in His goodness.
spiritual jesus integrity
It is a great thing to see physical courage, and greater still to see moral courage, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual courage; oh, to see a person who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he or she goes through!
christian jesus memories
It's easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. But once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ the memory of what God wants will always come like a goad, and you will no longer be able to work for Him on the common sense basis.

We are here for God's designs, not for our own
jesus remember christ
Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.

Beware of the inclination to dictate to God what consequences you would allow as a condition of your obedience to Him.
religious attitude character
The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
roots grows refuse
Many of us refuse to grow where we are put; consequently, we take root nowhere.

Faith must be tested, because it can be turned into a personal possession only through conflict.
