God is able to take mistakes, when they are committed to Him, and make of them something for our good and for His glory.

Ruth Bell Graham

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them.  Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.

Ephesians 6:4
The New Living Translation

Who would complain if God allowed one hour of suffering in an entire lifetime of comfort?  Why complain about a lifetime that includes suffering when that lifetime is a mere hour of eternity?

Philip Yancey

“Love is the fulfilling of the Law.”  It is the rule for fulfilling all rules, the new commandment for keeping all old commandments, Christ’s one secret of the Christian life.

Henry Drummond

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?  As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.  They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock.  When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation.  The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

Luke 6:46-49
The New International Version

The only real way to “prepare to meet thy God” is to live with thy God so that to meet Him will be nothing strange.

Until your purpose lines up with God’s purpose, you will never be happy or fulfilled.

Charles Stanley

But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Joshua 22:5
The King James Version

Either God’s Word keeps you from sin, or sin keeps you from God’s Word.

We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise.  We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has promised mountains.

Vance Havner

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.

Matthew 9:35
The Revised Standard Version

True prayer is measured by weight, not by length.  A single groan before God may have more fullness of prayer in it than a fine oration of great length.

C. H. Spurgeon

Has it ever struck you that the vast majority of the will of God for your life has already been revealed in the Bible?  That is a crucial thing to grasp.

Paul Little

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

Hebrews 1:1-2
The English Standard Version

Doubt sees the obstacles,
Faith sees the way;
Doubt sees the blackest night,
Faith sees the day;
Doubt dreads to take a step,
Faith soars on high;
Doubt questions, “Who believes?”
Faith answers, “I!”

Grant to us, O Lord, the royalty of inward happiness, and the serenity which comes from living close to Thee.  Daily renew in us the sense of joy, and let the eternal spirit of the Father dwell in our souls and bodies, filling us with light and grace, so that, bearing about with us the infection of a good courage, we may be diffusers of life, and may meet all ills and accidents with gallant and high-hearted happiness, giving Thee thanks always for all things.

L. H. Soule

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

I know well that when Christ is nearest, Satan is also busiest.

Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.

Oswald Chambers

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

Luke 6:19
The King James Version

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we’re pleased.  He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker’s praise without anxiety.

May your Easter celebration be one of  joy and special reflection.

In the cross is health, in the cross is life, in the cross is protection from enemies, in the cross is heavenly sweetness, in the cross strength of mind, in the cross joy of the Spirit, in the cross the height of virtue, in the cross perfection of holiness.  There is no health of the soul, no hope of the eternal life, save in the cross.

Thomas Kempis

Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.  For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him.  And after He is killed, He will rise the third day.”  But they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

Mark 9:30-32
The New King James Version

May the glad dawn
Of Easter morn
Bring joy to thee.
May the calm eve
Of Easter leave
A peace divine with thee.
May Easter night
On thine heart write,
O Christ, I live for Thee

Blessed is the man whose heart today burns as he walks with Jesus by the way.
Blessed is the man who having not seen yet believes.
Blessed is the man who hears the voice of the Risen Lord saying, “Peace be unto you.”
Blessed is the man who accepts the glorious Master, Jesus Christ, as his Lord and his God and worships Him.
Blessed is the man who thus lives the power of the endless life through fellowship with the Risen Lord.
Blessed is the man whose words and deeds are day by day and every day a witness to the living and loving Lord.
Blessed is the man who obeys the Risen Lord’s last great command and commission, “Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel,” for unto him shall be fulfilled the Lord’s promise, “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end.”

Oliver Huckel

By now it was noon, and darkness fell across the whole land for three hours, until three o’clock.  The light from the sun was gone—and suddenly the thick veil hanging in the Temple split apart.  Then Jesus shouted, “Father, I commit my spirit to you,” and with those words he died.

Luke 23:44-42
The Living Bible

In Christ Jesus heaven meets earth and earth ascends to heaven.

The simplest meaning of Easter is that we are living in a world in which God has the last word.

While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived.  With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.  Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”  Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.  Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”  Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.  With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.  “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.  Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

Matthew 26:47-54
The New International Version

Vital Christian experience comes from knowing Jesus as the living Saviour.  Two irreligious young men were discussing the resurrection, telling each other why it was impossible for them to accept the doctrine.  Then a deacon of a near-by church walked by, and in a joking way one of the young fellows called to him, “Say, Deacon, tell us why you believe that Jesus rose again.”  “Well,” he answered, “one reason is that I was talking with Him for half an hour this very morning.”  We may all experience proof of the resurrection of Christ in the acknowledging of His living presence in our lives.  No one who knows Jesus personally questions the resurrection.
