God commands us to be filled with the Spirit; and if we aren’t filled, it’s because we’re living beneath our privileges.
D. L. Moody
Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
2 Samuel 7:22
The English Standard Version
Hell is where everyone is doing his own thing. Paradise is where everyone is doing God’s thing.

Paul had a rough time of it. He never stayed in a Riviera cottage writing his memoirs. He sat in a dingy Roman prison waiting to have his heard chopped. But he had fought a good fight, finished his course, and kept the faith. He was waiting for a crown, anxious to depart and be with Christ, which is far, far better. I find the last miles to be the best. When it’s twilight on the trail, remember that the other side of the sunset is sunrise. The other side of evening is morning; beyond death is life. One hour in heaven, and we shall be ashamed that we ever grumbled.
Vance Havner
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
Luke 3:11
The King James Version
Faith is knowing that God is who He says He is, has what He says He has and will do what He says He will do and then putting ourselves in a position where our lives depend on it.

Day by day I turned to my Bible. Almost every day a verse seemed to speak to me and I began to write that verse against one of the arguments. At the end of a year, every argument in favor of staying in business had been wiped out. It took over a year, but I was not in a hurry. I was willing to wait; I wanted it to be in God’s time. Too much was at stake to dash into the thing. I wanted to intelligently find the will of God. And I found it as I sought the Lord through my daily reading and mediation. I committed it all to the Lord and step by step, the way opened.
Alan Redpath
Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
Proverbs 24:28
The Revised Standard Version
The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1
The New Living Translation
The army of Israel looked at Goliath through the eyes of man and said he’s too big to beat. David looked at him through the eyes of God and said he’s too big to miss.

Each believer stands on one side or the other of dedication. Either we have made this lifelong commitment or we have not. Either we have faced the issue of who is to be the master of our lives or we have been plucking up one sin at a time.
Charles Caldwell Ryrie
Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Isaiah 1:16-17
The Revised Standard Version
A brick is made of clay;
So is man.
A brick is square and plumb and true;
So a man ought to be.
A brick is useless until it has been through the fire;
So is man.
A brick is not so showy as marble, but it is more useful;
Man is not made for show, but for service.
A brick fulfills its purpose only by becoming a part of something greater than itself;
The same is true of a man.
When a man fulfills this description, he has a right to be called a brick.

He who has slight thoughts of sin never had great thoughts of God.
John Owen
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.
Proverbs 21:23
The New King James Version
The Talent…
God gave me a talent;
And I threw it away;
Into the winds of yesterday.
I had no time to work for God;
Nor follow the paths my dear Saviour had trod.
So He gave it again to this unworthy soul;
Taking me humbly into His fold.
He said, “My child, what will you do with
This talent I have twice given you?”
I cried, “Oh Lord, forgive me I pray,
I’ll take the talent and use it today.
I’ll teach others that they might see
The wonderful life that’s found in Thee.”

A man often preaches his beliefs precisely when he has lost them and is looking everywhere for them, and, on such occasions, his preaching is by no means at its worst.
Philip Melanchthon
Not one of all the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.
Joshua 21:45
The Revised Standard Version
Dan Clark recalls that when he was a teenager, he and his father once stood in line to buy tickets for the circus. As they waited, they noticed the family immediately in front of them. The parents were holding hands, and they had eight children in tow, all behaved well and all probably under the age of twelve. Based on their clean but simple clothing, he suspected they didn’t have a lot of money. The kids jabbered about the exciting things they expected to see, and he could tell that the circus was going to be a new adventure for them. As the couple approached the counter, the attendant asked how many tickets they wanted. The man proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.” When the attendant quoted the price, the man’s wife let go of his hand, and her head drooped. The man leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?” The attendant again quoted the price. The man obviously didn’t have enough money. He looked crushed. Clark says his father watched all of this, put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a twenty-dollar bill, and dropped it on the ground. His father then reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder, and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The man knew exactly what was going on. He looked straight into Clark’s father’s eyes, took his hand, shook it, and with a tear streaming down his cheek, replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.” Clark and his father went back to their car and drove home. They didn’t have enough money to go to the circus that night, but it didn’t matter. They had encouraged a whole family. And it was something neither family would ever forget.

The ultimate proof of the sinner is that he does not recognize his own sin.
Martin Luther
“For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 3:6-7
The New King James Version
Life Is Too Short…
To remember slights or insults.
To cherish grudges that rob me of happiness.
To waste time in doing things that are of no value.
To let past sins or mistakes cloud future happiness.
To miss making friends because I am too busy making money.
To give my youth to the divil and my old age to God.
To dream of tomorrow when I may never have one.
To put off making a confession of Christ now.

Let us try to follow the Savior’s steps; let us remember all day long what it is to be men: that it is to have everyone whom we meet for our brother in the sight of God; that it is this, never to meet any one, however bad he may be, for whom we cannot say, “Christ died for that man, and Christ cares for him still. He is precious in God’s eyes, and he shall be precious in mine also.”
Charles Kingsley
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.
Hebrews 3:12

I try not to worry about life too much because I read the last page of THE book and it all turns out all right.

It requires moral courage to grieve; it requires religious courage to rejoice.
Soren Kierkegaard
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
Psalm 51:1-2
The New International Version
We are, after all, like lumps of clay.
There are brittle pieces, hard pieces.
We have little shape or beauty.
But we need not despair.
If we are clay, let us remember there is a
Potter, and His wheel.
