Do you wish to rise?  Begin by descending.  You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds?  Lay first the foundation of humility.

Augustine

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

1 Timothy 6:17-19
The King James Version

Because we cannot see Christ we cannot express our love to Him; but our neighbors we can always see, and we can do to them what, if we saw Him, we would like to do to Christ.

Mother Teresa

To gather with God’s people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

Martin Luther

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Galatians 3:5
The King James Version

Jesus is all we have; He is all we need and all we want.  We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.

A. W. Tozer

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

Ephesians 1:7-10
The New King James Version

Peace is seeing a sunrise or a sunset and knowing whom to thank.

He was made what we are, that He might make us what He is Himself.

Irenaeus

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

John 14:26
The Revised Standard Version

A young Scottish preacher lived seven miles up the river from his church.  There came a Sunday when the snowdrifts made the road impassable, and he skated down the river to his church service.  Hauled before the bar of his presbytery for breaking the Sabbath, his defense was that skating was the only way he could get there.  “Young man,” said the moderator, “there is just one question.  Did ye, or did ye not, enjoy the skatin’?”

Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself.  That is why an uneducated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world.

C. S. Lewis

“O Lord God,” I cried out; “O great and awesome God who keeps his promises and is so loving and kind to those who love and obey him!  Hear my prayer!”

Nehemiah 1:5
The Living Bible

True greatness is found in simple surrender to God’s plan for our lives.

Follow me; I am the way, the truth, and the life.
Without the way there is no going;
Without the truth there is no knowing;
Without the life there is no living.

Thomas a Kempis

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.  But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18
The New King James Version

If you have no joy, there’s a leak in your Christianity somewhere.

The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.

A. W. Tozer

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.  For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:5-8
The English Standard Version

The Tither’s Surprises
The Christian who begins to tithe will have at least six surprises.  He will be surprised:
At the amount of money he has for the Lord’s work.
At the deepening of his spiritual life in paying the tithe.
At the ease in meeting his own obligations with the nine-tenths.
At the ease of going from one-tenth to a larger giving.
At the prudent disposal afforded to a faithful and wise steward over the nine-tenths that remain.
At himself in not adopting the plan sooner!

The people of our nation and the people of the whole world need to be gripped by the moral imperatives which grow out of the nature of God, by a sense of right, by principles of truth, and by ideals of decency.  Nothing is more needed by this sinful world than a revival of simple goodness and genuine uprightness.

Clifton J. Allen

Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always remembering you earnestly in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

Colossians 4:12
The Revised Standard Version

A guest at a country house coming down to breakfast one morning was met by the child of the house, who running up to him and putting his hand in his, looked up into his face with a smile, saying, “I’m your friend now; I put you in my prayer last night!”

There is practically nothing that men do not prefer to God.  A tiresome detail of business, an occupation utterly pernicious to health, the employment of time in ways one does not dare to mention.  Anything rather than God.

Francois Fenelon

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

John 14:15
The New King James Version

To the true disciple a miracle only manifests the power and love which are silently at work everywhere as divinely in the gift of daily bread as in the miraculous multiplication of the loaves.

The eyes see what the heart loves.  If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.

Warren Wiersbe

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Isaiah 40:29
The King James Version

There was a tedious four-day trial at which a defendant stoutly maintained his innocence.  On the fourth day he suddenly decided to plead guilty.  The judge angrily inquired, “Why didn’t you plead guilty right at the start and save us all this time, trouble, and cost?”  “Honest, Judge,” whined the defendant, “I was convinced I was innocent until I heard all the evidence against me.”
