A life of victory hinges upon three things: an act, a purpose, and a habit: an initial act, a fixed purpose, a daily habit.  The initial act is that of personal surrender to the Lord Jesus as Master.  The fixed purpose is that of doing what will please Him, and only that, at every turn, in every matter, regardless of consequences.  The daily habit is that of spending a quiet time daily in prayer alone with the Lord over His Word.  After the initial act of surrender, the secret of a strong, winsome Christian life is in spending time daily alone with God over His Word in prayer.

S. D. Gordon

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

Romans 5:19
The New International Version

There is not a single believer who from time to time has not had some hesitations about the existence of God.  But these moments of hesitation are not harmful.  On the contrary, they lead us to a better understanding of God.

Leo Tolstoy

Let us give up our work, our thoughts, our plans, our selves, our lives, our loved ones, over all into His hands.  When you have given all unto God, there will be nothing left for you to be troubled about.

J. Hudson Taylor

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

Psalm 6:4

The fellow who’s really in trouble is one who’s in bad company when he’s alone.

Every trial that we pass through is capable of being the seed of a noble character.  Every temptation that we meet in the path of duty is another chance of filling our souls with the power of Heaven.

Frederick Temple

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:9
The Revised Standard Version

To love means loving the unlovable.  To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.  Faith means believing the unbelievable.  Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

The only way we can teach the Word of God is to live the Word of God.

Henrietta C. Mears

The Lord has made bare His holy arm In the eyes of all the nations; And all the ends of the earth shall see The salvation of our God.

Isaiah 52:10
The New King James Version

I feel as if God had, by giving the Sabbath, given fifty-two springs in every year.

We apologize for yesterday’s technical delay with our message.

You can’t win over the devil with physical force, with human influence, with scientific skill, with money, with arguments or threats or promises.  It takes spiritual armor and weapons provided by God and Him alone.

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Galatians 5:5
The King James Version

An Atlantic passenger laid in his bunk in a storm, deathly seasick.  A cry of “Man overboard!” was heard.  “May God help the poor fellow,” prayed the man, “there is nothing I can do.”  Then he thought, “At least I can put my lantern in the porthole,” which he did.  The man was rescued, and recounting the story the next day, said, “I was going down in the darkness for the last time when someone put a light in a porthole.  It shone on my hand, and a sailor in the life boat grabbed it and pulled me in.”  Weakness is no excuse for our not putting forth all the little strength we have, and who can tell how God will use it?

One can hardly think too little of oneself.  One can hardly think too much of one’s soul.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent; for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city.”  And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Acts 18:9-11
The Revised Standard Version

Sinners cannot find God for the same reason that criminals cannot find a policeman: They aren’t looking!

One of the devil’s snares is so to occupy us with the past and the future as to weaken us for the present.

But you, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures to all generations.

Lamentations 5:19

A sermon that gets only as far as the ear is like a dinner eaten in a dream.

It pays to serve the Lord; but don’t serve the Lord because it pays—for if you serve the Lord because it pays, it then may not pay.

Robert G. LeTourneau

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence.  He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water—a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought.  Its leaves stay green, and it goes right on producing all its luscious fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
The Living Bible

This life therefore is not righteousness but growth in righteousness; not health but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise.  We are not what we shall be but we are growing toward it; the process is not yet finished but it is going on; this is not the end but it is the road.  All does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified.

Martin Luther

Whatever God gives you to do, do it as well as you can.  This is the best possible preparation for what he may want you to do next.

George MacDonald

Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.  Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good.  Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Psalm 143:9-10
The New King James Version

In silence comes all loveliness,
The dawn is ever still,
No noise accompanies the dew
That glistens on the hill.

The sunrise slips up quietly,
The moon is never heard,
And love that animates the eye
Surpasses any word.

So prayer is best in solitude,
It seems so very odd
That long ago, I did not know
In silence I’d find God.

Jane Sayre

The equipment for the inner life of prayer is simple.  It consists of a quiet place, a quiet hour and a quiet heart.

I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.

1 John 2:12
The New King James Version

Someday – I’m going down the street
And sit and chat with one whose feet
Have had to pause and rest awhile
Before they travel that last mile;
Well – someday.

Someday – A cake or pie I’ll bake
And with a cheery smile I’ll take
It to a home where there is need;
Just folks, of quite a different creed;
Well – someday.

Someday – A letter I will send
To that distant, lonely friend;
I’lI tell her every little thing
That will joy and comfort bring;
Well – someday.

Someday – A quiet place Ill seek
Where I can hear my Father speak,
Where I can listen undisturbed
To His precious guiding Word;
Someday.

Someday – I’ll surely take the time
To tell some soul of love divine,
Of salvation full and free,
Meant for them as well as me;
Someday.

Someday – I said it long ago.
The days slip by, and well I know
“Someday” will never come until
Today bends to my Father’s will.
Why not today?
