christian giving facts
What gives the Word of God authority is simply the fact that it is the word of God!
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.
jesus men giving
Any man who takes Jesus Christ seriously becomes the target of the devil. Most church members do not give Satan enough trouble to arouse his opposition
divine-order self giving
Self, service, substance is the Divine order and nothing counts until we give ourselves.
giving meditation today
I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.
wise men giving
Too many are not willing to give the Gospel a fair trial. They are too ignorant to speak wisely but not wise enough to speak ignorantly. A man is not a sinner because he is a skeptic; he is a skeptic because he is a sinner.
easily head people says stop talking time useful
People Some people are like wheelbarrows; useful only when pushed, and very easily upset. The time to stop talking is when the other person nods his head affirmatively but says nothing.

Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave - with both ends kicked out.
american-musician followed stare steps vision

heart men hands
Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
men brave messages
God is on the lookout today for a man who will be quiet enough to get a message from Him, brave enough to preach it, and honest enough to live it.
people church abnormal
The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
time jesus men
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
