Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
If I walk with the world, I can’t walk with God.
The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.
I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
God is God. Because he is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what he is up to.
The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.
We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a ‘Christian’ without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Humility is dependence on God as pride is independence of Him. The humble soul is always the thankful soul.
God will always make a way where there is no way.
The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.
When you keep God in first place, He will take you to places you’ve never dreamed of.
God knows the dreams and desires in your heart; in fact, He gave them to you. He will order your steps and take you where you need to be.
When you serve others, when you make somebody else’s life better, when you lift up people, when you help heal those that are hurting, not only are they being blessed, but you’re being blessed.
God’s way is better than your way. His plan is bigger than your plan. His dream for your life is more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than you’ve ever dreamed of. Now stay open and let God do it His way.
No matter what may be happening today, God has good things in store for your future! It may not be easy to see now, but God has already lined up a new beginning, new friendships and new opportunities for you.
