faith religious mean
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led - but it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of FAITH, not of understanding and reason- - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.
fall pride men
Not every man can carry a full cup. Sudden elevation frequently leads to pride and a fall. The most exacting test of all to survive is prosperity.
jesus views holiness
Anything that belittles or obliterates the holiness of God by a false view of the love of God, is untrue to the revelation of God given by Jesus Christ.
life-is strain ifs
The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.
reality news littles
When we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.
faith religious giving
Refusing to be disillusioned is the cause of much of the suffering of human life. And this is how that suffering happens-if we love someone, but do not love God, we demand total perfection and righteousness from that person, and when we do not get it, we become cruel and vindictive; yet we are demanding of a human being which he or she cannot possibly give.
jesus opinion said
Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.
jesus blessed mean
My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. When once God's Redemption comes to the point of obedience in a human soul, it always creates. If I obey Jesus Christ, the Redemption of God will rush through me to other lives, because behind the deed of obedience is the Reality of Almighty God.
determination reality lord
Having the reality of God's presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.
jesus men soul
When you meet a man or woman who puts Jesus Christ first, knit that one to your soul.
crazy believe long
It is easy to say we believe in God as long as we remain in the little world we choose to live in; but get out into the great world of facts, the noisy world where people are absolutely indifferent to you, where your message is nothing more than a crazy tale belonging to a bygone age, can you believe God there?
greatness notes creeds
'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.
christ devotion threat
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
waste asking wasting-time
Don't waste time asking God to keep you from doing things. Don't do them.
