Happy are those Christians – JC Ryle

Happy are those Christians – JC Ryle

Happy are those Christians who have learned of Jesus to live for others more than for themselves, and who understand that is is “more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)

The more I gave away … – Hudson Taylor

The more I gave away … – Hudson Taylor

My experience was that the less I spent on myself and the more I gave away, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become. Unspeakable joy all the day long, and every day was my happy experience.

Christmas is an exchange of gifts – Vance Havner

Christmas is an exchange of gifts – Vance Havner

Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to man—His unspeakable gift of His Son, and the gift of man to God—when we present our bodies a living sacrifice.

Real Christianity – Catherine Booth

Real Christianity – Catherine Booth

Show the world a real, living, self-sacrificing, hard-working, toiling, triumphing Christianity, and the world will be influenced by it; but anything short of that they will turn round and spit upon.

Gifts of the Spirit – Jack W. Hayford

Gifts of the Spirit – Jack W. Hayford

Jesus gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit, yet when the Spirit comes, He is loaded with packages! He desires to release much more in us and through us than we could ever imagine. These gifts are given for delivery, not for accumulation. We receive them to pass them on to others.

A Zealous Man – JC Ryle

A Zealous Man – JC Ryle

A zealous man feels that like a lamp he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If he cannot preach and work and give money, he will cry and sigh and pray.
