Christian Quotation Of The Day

[Theresasjourney]

Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence.

Augustine

 

[Larry_Fout]

There are many things which a person can do alone, but being a Christian is not one of them. As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.
... William T. Ham

 

[Hisbygrace]

To some men it is hard seeing a call of God through difficulties; when if it would but clothe itself with a few carnal advantages, how apparent it is to them! They can see It through a little cranny.
... John Owen

 

[FineLinen]

"Sadly, there are those who would have us love Christ for protecting us from God, instead of leading us to God--the home of safety. They imagine justice and love dwelling in eternal opposition in the bosom of unity. -George MacDonald-"

 

[Larry_Fout]

But when does the flesh receive the bread which He calls His flesh? The faithful know and receive the Body of Christ, if they labour to be the Body of Christ; and they become the Body of Christ if they study to live by the Spirit of Christ: for that which lives by the Spirit of Christ is the Body of Christ.
... St. Augustine of Hippo

 

[Theresasjourney]

Character is a victory, not a gift.

[Larry_Fout]

Our imitation of God in this life -- that is, our willed imitation, as distinct from any likenesses which He has impressed upon our natures or our states -- must be an imitation of God Incarnate. Our model is the Jesus, not only of Calvary, but of the workshop, the roads, the crowds, the clamorous demands and surly oppositions, the lack of all peace and privacy, the interruptions. For this, so strangely unlike anything we can attribute to the divine life in itself, is apparently not only like, but is, the divine life operating under human conditions.
... C. S. Lewis

 

[Theresasjourney]

Instead of so knowing Christ that they have Him in them saving them, they lie wasting themselves in soul-sickening self-examination as to whether they are believers, whether they are really trusting in the Atonement, whether they are truly sorry for their sins - - the way to madness of the brain and despair of the heart...Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have, this day, done one thing because He said, Do it! Or once abstained because He said, Do not do it! It is simply absurd to say you believe, or even want to believe, in Him, if you do not do anything He tells you.

George Macdonald

[BIBLE]James 4:8[/BIBLE]

My favorite verse.

 

[Theresasjourney]

The Scriptures teach us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering, and the most comfortable way of dying!

John Flavel

 

[Larry_Fout]

One great remedy against all manner of temptation, great or small, is to open the heart and lay bare its suggestion, likings, and dislikings before some spiritual adviser; for, ... the first condition which the Evil One makes with a soul, when he wants to entrap it, is silence.
... Fran&#231;ois de Sales

[Starr SDA Living Word]

THE U IN JESUS


Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son.

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.

&quot;Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U.&quot;

So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on whatU will do,
He'd like them to know,
But it all starts with U.

Hi I am new here, Nice to meet you all.

 

[Larry_Fout]

Hi I am new here, Nice to meet you all.

Jesus lived His life in complete dependence upon God, as we all ought to live our lives. But such dependence does not destroy human personality. Man is never so fully and so truly personal as when he is living in complete dependence upon God. This is how personality comes into its own. This is humanity at its most personal.
... Donald F. Baillie

My favourite verse : Romans 8:38

 

[Theresasjourney]

The deeper we are willing to enter into the death of self, the more shall we know of the mighty power of God, and the perfect blessedness of a perfect trust.

Andrew Murray

 

[JPPT1974]

The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away!

 

[Theresasjourney]

If we wholly trust an interest to God, we must keep our hands off it; and He will guard it for us better than him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. Things may seem to be going all wrong, but He knows as well as we; and He will arise in the right moment if we are really trusting Him so fully as to let Him work in His own way and time. There is nothing so masterly as inactivity in some things, and there is nothing so hurtful as restless working, for God has undertaken to work His sovereign will.

A. B. Simpson

 

[Theresasjourney]

To be risen with Christ means not only that one has a choice and that one may live by a higher law--the law of grace and love--but that one *must* do so. The first obligation of the Christian is to maintain their freedom from all supersitions, all blind taboos and religious formalities, indeed from all empty forms of legalism.

Thomas Merton
