Christian Quotation Of The Day

[angelwind]

Having lived a life filled with anxiety, these words are very meaningful to me.

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith; and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.
GEORGE MULLER (1805–1898) Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and his will for us. BILLY GRAHAM (1918– ) Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained. ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE

Grace binds you with far stronger cords than the cords of duty or obligation can bind you. Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver. Like produces like. Grace makes you gracious, the Giver makes you give. E. STANLEY JONES (1884–1973)

 

[angelwind]

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin. OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874–1917) If your father and mother, your sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house, are not happier for your being Christian, it is a question whether you really are. JAMES HUDSON TAYLOR (1832–1905)

 

[angelwind]

Christianity does not teach a doctrine of weakness. But the strength it gives a man is quite different from his natural strength. It is a God directed strength, doing what God wills. It wins great victories, but they are only over evil and self, not the destructive victories that are won over others. PAUL TOURNIER (1898–1986)

 

[angelwind]

Are we prepared for what sanctification will do? It will cost an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth and an immense broadening of our interest in God. OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874–1917) In coming to Christ we do not bring our old life up to a higher plane; we leave it at the Cross. The corn of wheat must fall into the ground and die. A. W. TOZER (1897–1963)

 

[angelwind]

We are going to meet unmerciful good people and unmerciful bad people, unmerciful institutions, unmerciful organizations, and we shall have to go through the discipline of being merciful to the merciless.
OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874–1917)


This quote was in my morning email today...what a surprise to read this after spending time in prayer meditating upon and praying for God's mercy in my life. Especially meditating upon God's mercy to me in relation to His truth...His opening my heart and my ear to His truth, which I can see...together really are preserving me.

preserve: to guard, protect, maintain (in a good sense)

The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they have not yet come to the end of themselves. We are still giving some of the orders, and we are still interfering with God’s working within us. A. W. TOZER (1897–1963) The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle Master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light. A. W. TOZER (1897–1963)

 

[angelwind]

If God were to remove from us the possibility of disobedience there would be no value in our obedience, it would be a mechanical business. OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874–1917) Never think that Jesus commanded a trifle, nor dare to trifle with anything he has commanded. DWIGHT LYMAN MOODY (1837–1899)

 

[angelwind]

Do little things as if they were great because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in you; and do great things as if they were little and easy because of his omnipotence. BLAISE PASCAL (1623–1662)
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue. GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI (1807–1882)
Give others a piece of your heart, not a piece of your mind.

"We have found no means so much blessed to keep religion alive
as FASTING and PRAYER." - Edward Payson

 

[angelwind]

Do you want to be filled with a Spirit who, though he is like Jesus in his gentleness and love, will nevertheless demand to be Lord of your life? Are you willing to let your personality be taken over by another, even if that other be the Spirit of God himself? If the Spirit takes charge of your life he will expect unquestioning obedience in everything. He will not tolerate in you the self-sins even though they are permitted and excused by most Christians. . . . You will find the Spirit to be in sharp opposition to the easy ways of the world and of the mixed multitude within the precincts of religion. He will be jealous over you for good. He will not allow you to boast or swagger or show off. He will take the direction of your life away from you. He will reserve the right to test you, to discipline you, to chasten you for your soul's sake. He may strip you of many of those borderline pleasures which other Christians enjoy but which are to you a source of refined evil. Through it all he will enfold you in a love so vast, so mighty, so all-embracing, so wondrous that your very losses will seem like gains and your small pains like pleasure. A. W. TOZER (1897–1963)

 

[angelwind]

Idolatry is not only the adoration of images . . . but also trust in one's own righteousness, works and merits, and putting confidence in riches and power. MARTIN LUTHER (1483–1546) O senseless man who cannot make a worm, and yet makes gods by dozens. MICHEL EYQUEM DE MONTAIGNE (1533–1592)

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all. But whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
MARTIN LUTHER

 

[angelwind]

Christ is full and sufficient for all his people. He is bread, wine, milk, living waters, to feed them; he is a garment of righteousness to cover and adorn them; a Physician to heal them; a Counselor to advise them; a Captain to defend them; a Prince to rule; a Prophet to teach; a Priest to make atonement for them; a Husband to protect; a Father to provide; a Brother to relieve; a Foundation to support; a Root to quicken; a Head to guide; a Treasure to enrich; a Sun to enlighten; and a Fountain to cleanse. JOHN SPENCER (1630–1693)

 

[angelwind]

It is a great thing to see physical pluck, and greater still to see moral pluck, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual pluck, to see a man who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he is going through. OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874–1917)

 

[angelwind]

Holy has the same root as wholly, it means complete. A man is not complete in spiritual stature if all his mind, heart, soul, and strength are not given to God. R. J. STEWART Holiness has love for its essence, humility for its clothing, the good of others as its employment, and the honor of God as its end. NATHANAEL EMMONS

"Go for souls and go for the worst." - William Booth

 

[Hisbygrace]

Why do we not know the country whose citizens we are? Because we have wandered so far away that we have forgotten it. But the Lord Christ, the king of the land, came down to us, and drove forgetfulness from our heart. God took to Himself our flesh so that He might be our way back. ~Augustine~

Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day. ROBERT CASPAR LINTNER Psa 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. Psa 33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
