jesus lord born
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
jesus ideas perfection
There is only one way by which I can get right with God, and that is through the death of Jesus Christ. I must get rid of the underlying idea that I can ever be right with God because of my obedience. Who of us could ever obey God to absolute perfection!
people responsible
Has it ever dawned on you that you are responsible spiritually to God for other people?
faithful our-relationship certainty
Continually revise your relationship to God until the only certainty you have is not that you are faithful, but that He is.
common-sense temptation ghost
The Holy Ghost is the only One who can detect the temptations of Satan, neither our common sense nor our human wisdom can detect them as temptations.
gold weight worth-it
The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.
mean three hundred
We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up.
christian pain heart
Why shouldn’t we experience heartbreak? Through those doorways God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son. Most of us collapse at the first grip of pain. We sit down at the door of God’s purpose and enter a slow death through self-pity. And all the so-called Christian sympathy of others helps us to our deathbed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the pierced hand of His Son, as if to say, “Enter into fellowship with Me; arise and shine.” If God can accomplish His purposes in this world through a broken heart, then why not thank Him for breaking yours?
jesus appreciate christ
Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?
jesus mean drawing
Sanctification means the impartation of the Holy qualities of Jesus Christ. It is His patience, His love, His holiness, His faith, His purity, His godliness, that is manifested in and through every sanctified soul. Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.
letting-go jesus men
We have to keep letting go, and slowly and surely the great full life of God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus.
holiness abandonment values
Abandonment to God is of more value than personal holiness!
taken helping reckless
Is He going to help Himself to your life, or are you taken up with your conception of what you are going to do? God is responsible for our lives, and the one great keynote is reckless reliance upon Him.
fear-nothing fear-not fear-god
When you fear God you fear nothing else!
