mean goal together
Wisdom is the power to see, and the inclination to choose, the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it.
character giving ministry
The Holy Spirit's main ministry is not to give thrills but to create in us Christlike character.
should staggering sinner
It is staggering that God should love sinners, yet it is true.
self denial speak
There are ministers who never speak of repentance or self-denial. Naturally they are popular, but they are false prophets.
joy feelings mind
Joy is a condition that is experienced, but it is more than a feeling; it is, primarily, a state of mind.
prayer responsibility heart
We must learn to measure ourselves, not by our knowledge about God, not by our gifts and responsibilities in the church, but by how we pray and what goes on in our hearts. Many of us, I suspect, have no idea how impoverished we are at this level. Let us ask the Lord to show us.
self self-absorbed
There is nothing more irreligious than self-absorbed religion.
christian lying men
It is here, in the thing that happened at the first Christmas, that the most profound unfathomable depths of the Christian revelation lie. God became man; Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the incarnation.
biblical grace favors
To mend our own relationship with God, regaining God's favor after having once lost it, is beyond the power of any one of us. And one must see and bow to this before one can share the biblical faith in God's grace.
blessed men evil
William Wilberforce...w as a great man who impacted the Western world as few others have done. Blessed with brains, charm, influence and initiative, much wealth ... he put evangelism on Britain's map as a power for social change, first by overthrowing the slave trade almost single-handed and then by generating a stream of societies for doing good and reducing evil in public life... To forget such men is foolish.
world missed-you
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.
christian-christmas fiction religious-christmas
Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as is this truth of the Incarnation.
christian zealous natural
Pelagianism is the natural heresy of zealous Christians who are not interested in theology.
order worship true-worship
Certainly true worship invigorates, but to plan invigoration is not necessarily to order worship.
