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.”

I believe firmly that the moment our hearts are emptied of pride and selfishness and ambition and everything that is contrary to God’s law, the Holy Spirit will fill every corner of our hearts.  But if we are full of pride and conceit and ambition and the world, there is no room for the Spirit of God.

D. L. Moody

Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

Proverbs 21:21
The New International Version

What unnumbered cathedrals has He reared in the forest shades, vast and grand, full of curious carvings, and haunted evermore by tremulous music; and in the heavens above, how do stars seem to have flown out of His hand faster than sparks out of a mighty forge!

Henry Ward Beecher

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.

Thomas Howard

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.
