There is more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than there is that Julius Caesar ever lived or that Alexander the Great died at the age of thirty-three.
In a country where Christians were looked upon with suspicion and disfavor, a government leader said to me with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Christians seem to thrive under persecution. Perhaps we should prosper them, and then they would disappear.’
Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.
Our valleys may be filled with foes and tears; but we can lift our eyes to the hills to see God and the angels, heaven’s spectators, who support us according to God’s infinite wisdom as they prepare our welcome home.
Few people realize the profound part angelic forces play in human events.
Heaven is real and hell is real, and eternity is but a breath away.
Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light.
I never pray on a golf course. Actually, the Lord answers my prayers everywhere except on the course.
Prayer is the rope that pulls God and man together. But, it doesn’t pull God down to us: It pulls us up to Him.
If you know Christ, you don’t need to beg for the Holy Spirit to come into your life; He is already there- whether you “feel” His presence or not. Don’t confuse the Holy Spirit with an emotional feeling or a particular type of spiritual experience.
I feel sorry for the man who has never known the bracing thrill of taking a stand and sticking to it fearlessly. Moral courage has rewards that timidity can never imagine. Like a shot of adrenaline, it floods the spirit with vitality.
Life is just a schoolroom with a glorious opportunity to prepare us for eternity.
God doesn’t owe us anything yet in His grace, He still gives us good things.
The most remarkable thing about suffering is that God can use it for our good.
I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‘Lord, remember me.’
Suppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?
I have so many gay friends, and we remain friends.
The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless.
You’re born. You suffer. You die. Fortunately, there’s a loophole.
Even when life may be difficult, we should thank God for all He does for us-which we do not deserve.
