christian christian-inspirational lost
It is only the life that is lost for Him that is found in Him.
christian jesus differences
Jesus Christ demands more complete allegiance than any dictator who ever lived. The difference is, He has a right to it.
christian popularity prophet
Popularity has killed more prophets than persecution.
christian sober please
A deep and sober concern to please God is the rarest of rarities.
christian men looks
When a man makes alliance with the Almighty, giants look like grasshoppers.
christian fall men
I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world.
christian giving facts
What gives the Word of God authority is simply the fact that it is the word of God!
christian doe life-is-great
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
christian apathy needs
We need to take down our "Do not disturb" signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.
christian purpose please
God has a place and purpose for you, somewhere for you to be and something for you to do. You never will be happy elsewhere, nor can you please God anywhere but there.
christian winning self
Before we can strengthen believers or win the lost, we must be converted from the self-life to the Christ-life. . . "Not I, but Christ."
christian giving-up blessed
Blessed is that Christian who can accept at the start by simple faith that which others reach only through years of questioning and reach it only then because they give up trying to analyze it and decide to accept it.
christian practice suffering
You have not really learned a commandment until you have obeyed it. The Church suffers today from Christians who know volumes more than they practice.
christian sacrifice offering
Every Christian is a priest, not offering a sacrifice for sins - since that has been done once and for all - but offering his person, praise and possessions.
