Never Careless

Father God is never careless nor causeless with how He spends our lives. ~ Alicia Britt Chole

Lifestyle...

No one in the Gospels became a follower of Jesus and squeezed their discipleship around their current lifestyle. 

~ Chris Tiegreen

Every Situation...

There are two ways to look at every situation: How it will affect you, and how it will affect God's Kingdom. ~ Henry Blackaby

A New Demonstration

The world is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity. It's waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity. ~ Leonard Ravenhill

Best Tombstone

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. 

~ Charles H. Spurgeon

Handicaps...

‎Maybe the really handicapped people are the ones who wake up in the morning, hit the alarm, take a quick shower, scarf down breakfast, give God a speedy tip of a hat of a quiet time, and then zoom out the door on automatic cruise control. 

~ Joni Eareckson Tada

Willing to Weep

Human answers will never be enough for those who are suffering; the pain is simply too great. Our response is to follow the example of Christ, standing in solidarity with the suffering, willing to weep with those who are weeping. ~ Carla Sunberg

Learn to Love

If your spouse is not loved well, he or she may not live out their potential for good in the world. This goes back to the self-developing and empowering realities of true love…As we learn to love and therefore give to our spouse, we not only become the best version of ourselves—we offer our spouse the chance to become the best version of him or herself as well. Love, then, is giving for the sake of our spouse’s becoming. ~ Tyler Ward 

Love Them Anyway...

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. ~ Mother Teresa

The Light...

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. 

~ Edith Wharton

Be Soft...

Think on This

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. ~ Kurt Vonnegut

Regard People...

We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What Matters?

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people He has made. ~ Francis Chan

Let HIM Change Your Heart...

God doesn't want to change your tongue. He wants to change your heart. When He does, your words become His. ~ Chris Tiegreen

Sins Defeat Us... UNLESS...

Our sins defeat us unless we are willing to recognize them, confess them, and so become healed and whole and holy- not qualified, mind you, just holy. ~ Madeleine L'Engle

Any Method...

Any method of evangelism will work - if God is in it. ~ Leonard Ravenhill

Comfortable...

But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through. ~ Francis Chan

Disobedience

Any problem that comes between God and myself springs out of disobedience. ~ Oswald Chambers

Understanding...

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. ~ Marvin J. Ashton

Heaven's Joys...

I would not give one moment of heaven for all the joy and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years. ~ Martin Luther 

Standing on the Rock...

O Cornerstone, help us stand on the living stone and in so doing become steppingstones for other into Your home.

~ Cathy Warner

Truth Is...

Truth is a Person. Cling to Him and believe no one else. ~ Chris Tiegreen

Prayer Is...

Prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. 

~ Leonard Ravenhill

Answered Prayers...

Jesus never mentioned unanswered prayer. He had the boundless certainty that prayer is always answered.

~ Oswald Chambers

Refuse to Accept...

It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it! 

~ Somerset Maugham.

Needs...

If God didn't withhold from us His very own Son, will God withhold anything we need?

~ Ann Voskamp

Real Progress

Real spiritual progress and the Presence of the Lord in our lives depends upon bringing everything we know up to date. All our progress in the future depends on what we know and are doing now. ~ T. Austin-Sparks

No Time...

I do not have time to be in a hurry. 

~ John Wesley

Thank You for Giving to the Lord...

You will never know until eternity all who received a blessing because of your righteous life. ~ Henry Blackaby

Faith Sees...

Faith sees more than sight ever can. 

~Chris Tiegreen

Club Members??

We're not here to get club members, but to love people and demonstrate the power of Christ. ~ James Robison

Pass the Peace of Christ...

Doubt is never meant to be a permanent condition, we need to allow Jesus to bring us into belief. When we help each other, we are also passing the peace of Christ onto each other. ~ Mark Sluss

Falling for Lies...

Our culture has fallen for the lies. It has no problem with saying Jesus is a way, a truth, and a life. It's when we say Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life - the only way to the Father - that the enemy gets uncomfortable.
~ Chris Tiegreen

Aligned with God

I think it would be fair to say that a one - word description for life properly aligned with God would be 'joy.' ~ Dudley Hall
