If you don’t see the greatness of God then all the things that
money can buy become very exciting. If you can’t see the sun
you will be impressed with a street light. If you’ve never felt thunder
and lightning you’ll be impressed with fireworks. And if you turn
your back on the greatness and majesty of God you’ll fall in love
with a world of shadows and short-lived pleasures.
– John Piper –
But Christians, the last word is for you. Are you praising God more and more? If you are not, I am afraid of one thing: that you are probably praising Him less and less. It is a certain truth that if we do not go forward in the Christian life, we go backward. You cannot stand still. There is a drift one way or the other.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from Spurgeon on Praise
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and
for heaven.
– EM Bounds –
When the child of God
Looks into the Word of God
And sees the Son of God
He is changed by the Spirit of God
Into the image of God
For the glory of God
– Warren Wiersbe –
I believe the Lord would rather have His children attempt things for Him and fail than to never take a risk for His Kingdom.
– Paul Hattaway –
from “An Asia Harvest”
When the worst happens in the life of a child of God the best remains, and the very best is yet to be.
– Corrie ten Boom –
God is so powerful that He can direct any evil to a good end.*
– Thomas Aquinas –
1225-1274
* see Romans 8:28
The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.
– AW Tozer –
When God breaks into a life or a community, nothing else matters save the person of Jesus, the glory of Jesus, the name of Jesus.
