christian school knees
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.
christian jesus discipline
There are many who say they want to be victorious Christians, but few are willing to endure the discipline necessary to make one a good solider of Jesus Christ. There is a prize to possess, but before we possess it there is a price to be paid, and few will pay it.
christian jesus light
When we are weakest and most despondent, Jesus is most considerate. When there is a break in our progress or we have a spell of depression, he sees the whole of our lives and in the light of that He is longsuffering with discordant details.
christian long lasts
No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
christian hands trying
When Christ possesses the will He keeps it fixed. The trouble comes when we take matters out of His hand and try to handle them ourselves.
christian eruption concerned
Christ is most concerned with the direction in which you habitually are going and not with a spasmodic eruption either good or bad.
christian live-life heart
The man who sets out to live the life worthwhile-to follow his vision and speak his heart-need not look for position, honors, prosperity.
christian men obscurity
Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity
christian jesus adventure
I can conceive of no greater, more romantic and interesting adventure than to undertake to live like Jesus in this complicated day.
christian able babe
Most of the notable turn out to be the not-able. God's greatest truths still belong to babes.
christian christian-inspirational peace-with-god
Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
christian wise jesus
God's deepest secrets often miss the wise and prudent and are revealed unto babes. We say, "Children, be like your parents." Jesus said, "Parents, be like your children."
christian art fighting
We are fighting the greatest battle of all time with the most untrained army on earth. If strict discipline is necessary in art and athletics, how can we expect to be advanced Christians and stay in kindergarten?
christian humility judging
We justify ourselves when we should judge ourselves. If we learned humility, it might spare us the humiliation.
