Love is the spark that kindles the fire of compassion.  Compassion is the fire that flames the candle of service.  Service is the candle that ignites the torch of hope.  Hope is the torch that lights the beacon of faith.  Faith is the beacon that reflects the power of God.  God is the power that creates the miracle of love.

William A. Ward

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.  Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.  No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39
The New Living Translation

Believe under a cloud, and wait for Him when there is no moonlight or starlight.

You don’t have to attend every argument you’re invited to.

Do not desire to be strong, powerful, honoured and respected; but let God alone be your strength, your fame, your honour.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask; yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.

Martin Luther

I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.  Selah

“Sin” is a seldom-used word today.  But whether the word turns us on or off doesn’t matter; it does not alter the truth, whatever we think.  If my hangups and negatives are called “sin” by our Lord, then sin it is.

Bob Turnbull

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

The religion of some people is constrained, like the cold bath when used, not for pleasure, but from necessity for health, into which one goes with reluctance and is glad when able to get out.  But religion to the true believer is like water to a fish; it is his element; he lives in it and could not live out of it.

John Newton

And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.”

Luke 9:3

For God to explain a trial would be to destroy its object, which is that of calling forth simple faith and implicit obedience.

Alfred Edersheim

But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”

Luke 5:24
The English Standard Version

Man’s problem rises from the fact that he has not only lost the way, but he has lost the address.

A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.  It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is.  If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next.

C. S. Lewis

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Before the war begins, seek out your ally; before you fall ill, seek out your physician; and before grievous things come upon you, pray, and in the time of your tribulations you will find Him, and He will listen to you.

Isaac the Syrian

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Psalm 48:1
The King James Version

If someone is standing between you and God, guess who’s closer to God.

We need an experience of Christ in which we think everything about the Christ and not about the experience.

P. T. Forsyth

Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care.

It is ours to offer what we can, His to supply what we cannot.
