christian jesus memories
It's easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. But once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ the memory of what God wants will always come like a goad, and you will no longer be able to work for Him on the common sense basis.
christian jesus motivation
In Christian work our initiative and motivation are too often simply the result of realizing that there is work to be done and that we must do it. Yet that is never the attitude of a spiritually vigorous saint. His aim is to achieve the realization of Jesus Christ in every set of circumstances.
christian character expression
The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
christian jesus joy
The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'
god christian spirit
One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit.
god christian worry
If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.
christian jesus spirit
The spirit of God has the habit of taking the words of Jesus out of their scriptural setting and putting them into the setting of our personal lives.
christian difficult-questions asking
One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.
christian spiritual determination
The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
believe needs christianity
The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.
faith christian prayer
Your god may be your little Christian habit - the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, 'I can't do that right now; this is my time alone with God.' No, this is your time alone with your habit.
christian men fool
The man who prays ceases to be a fool
christian personality almighty
Peace is the deepest thing a human personality can know; it is almighty
christian prayer ideas
The whole idea of the prayers of the saints is that God's holiness, God's purpose, God's ways may be brought about irrespective of who comes or goes.
