“God doesn’t bless us just to make us happy; He blesses us to make us a blessing.”1
“The ability to calm your soul and wait before God is one of the most difficult things in the Christian life. Our old nature is restless… the world around us is frantically in a hurry. But a restless heart usually leads to a reckless life.”
“Never doubt in the darkness what God has told you in the light.”
“You feel like quitting, like giving up. You can’t understand why the road doesn’t get easier, why God doesn’t remove the stones and straighten the path. If God did that, you might never get to the top, because the bumps are what you can climb on.”
“The erosion of character usually begins with neglect: we stop reading the Word, or worshiping with God’s people, or taking time to meditate and pray.”
“Reputation is what people think we are; character is what God and the holy angels know we are.”
“Yesterday God helped me, Today He’ll do the same. How long will this continue? Forever—praise His name!”
“God does not reveal His will to those who are curious. He reveals His will to those who are obedient. God guides those who are concerned about His glory.”
“The person whose happiness depends on ideal circumstances is going to be miserable much of the time.”
“There is no substitute for an understanding mind. Satan can defeat the ignorant believer, but he cannot overcome the Christian who knows his Bible and understands the purposes of God.”
“Yield your heart and life to Jesus Christ. Be faithful to Him, no matter what men may do. The important thing is not the praise of men; it is the approval of God.”
“At this stage in your experience, lay hold of the truth that God loves you, and don’t let anybody steal it away from you. Circumstances may assail you; Satan may accuse you; your Christian friends may even abandon you, but God loves you just as much as He did when He gave Jesus to die for you on the cross. Your circumstances have changed, and your feelings have changed, but God’s love has not changed. When you experience the love of God in your heart, then your faith will grow stronger, and you will be able to give thanks.”
“When you find yourself sinking in the quicksand, there is little else you can do but cry to the Lord. Sometimes He allows the ‘quicksand’ experiences to turn you to Him. Wait for God. Acknowledge that He is in control. Give Him the pieces of your broken heart and watch Him work for you. You can depend on His faithfulness.”
“When we walk by faith, we live on promises, not on explanations.”
“Saving faith involves the mind, the emotions, and the will. With the mind we understand the truth of the gospel, and with the heart we feel conviction and the need to be saved. But it is only when we exercise the will and commit ourselves to Christ that the process is complete. Faith is not mental assent to a body of doctrines, no matter how true those doctrines may be. Faith is not emotional concern. Faith is commitment to Jesus Christ.”
“In our universe there is God and there are people and things. We were made so that we should worship God, love people and use things. However if we worship ourselves, we will ignore God, start loving things and begin to use people.”
“You do not move ahead by constantly looking in a rear view mirror. The past is a rudder to guide you, not an anchor to drag you. We must learn from the past but not live in the past.”
“We have little control over the circumstances of life. We can’t control the weather or the economy, and we can’t control what other people say about or do to us. There is only one area where we have control–we can rule the kingdom inside. The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart.”
“Daily I have asked Him to feed me from His Word, and there has always been bread in the cupboard.”
“In sending his Son to earth, God caused eternity to invade time. This was not a temporary visit; when Jesus came, he wedded dust and deity, time and eternity, into one. The eternal Word was made human flesh, and that union will last forever.”
