The life of Jesus suggests that to be like Abba is to show compassion. Donald Gray expresses this: “Jesus reveals in an exceptionally human life what it is to live a divine life, a compassionate...

You’re single not because you are not good enough for one, it’s that you’re too good for the wrong one.

He loves Thee too little, who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.

Worlds of my own creation are erected with walls that are within but a few scant paces of each other. The world that God creates for me has no idea what walls are.

They here shall be redeemed from sin,Shall here put on their glorious dress,Fine linen, pure, and white, and cleanThe saints’ inherent righteousness.Love, perfect love, expels all doubt,Love makes them to the end endure;Their names thou...

Why is it that it is often easier for us to confess our sins to God than to a brother? God is holy and sinless, He is a just judge of evil and the enemy...

What-Would-Jesus-Buy”—well now, that could very well revolutionize the Christian church in America.

Lord, make me less like Jonah and more like Jesus. Save me from being the kind of person who cares more about my comfort, my reputation, and my success than I do about the people...

The way of Jesus cannot be imposed or mapped — it requires an active participation in following Jesus as he leads us through sometimes strange and unfamiliar territory, in circumstances that become clear only in...

The mission of Jesus brought not a new teaching but a new event. It brought to people an actual foretaste of the eschatological salvation. Jesus did not promise the forgiveness of sins; he bestowed it....

When you take time to study and practice the word of God, you become like a barrel of great beauty, filled with the energy drink of love with which you inspire people to inspire other...

God simply told us to think of Jesus as Immanuel, which means ‘God with us.’ How amazing that one of the main ways God wants us to think about the person of Jesus is as...

And now brothers, I will ask you a terrible question, and God knows I ask it also of myself. Is the truth beyond all truths, beyond the stars, just this: that to live without him...

[Y]ou have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin. When you are pursuing love, running toward Christ, you do not have opportunity to wonder, *Am I doing this right?* or *Did I...

Democracy; Everyone’s opinion is required! Autocracy; Someone’s opinion is the best! Christocracy; What Christ said is FINAL!

Its better to have Jesus sleeping in your boat than to have satan on the rudder

If, in his pride, he considers God as a challenge, he will deny Him; and if God becomes man and therefore makes Himself vulnerable, he will crucify Him.

Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone accept, His Lordship. The Cross, as it enters the love life, will reveal the...

It is the absoluteness of meaninglessness that Christianity, as I understand it, inhabits and inflects, the shock and stark violence of the cross that discloses the living Christ. Revelation, like creation, arises not merely out...

Among leaders who have made the greatest impact through ages, I would consider Muhammad before Jesus Christ.

Wearing your feelings on your sleeve will end up being a chip on your shoulder.

Jesus said, “If those who lead you say to you, ‘See, the kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the...

Don’t argue with the person who puts his knowledge above everyone’s else’s; you’ll always lose in that respect. But, in reality, he is the loser because he has put himself in a position where he...

Jesus loves hidden souls. A hidden flower is the most fragrant. I must strive to make the interior of my soul a resting place for the Heart of Jesus.

Who needs a Dr. when you have WebMD? Who needs a counselor when you have the Holy Spirit? And who needs Wal-Mart when you have Amazon.com? 🙂

God draws near to the brokenhearted. He leans toward those who are suffering. He knows what it feels like to be wounded and abandoned.

Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus!

No sooner do I conquer a bad habit than I become the biggest critic of anyone who still does what I just stopped doing.

In particular, we must take account of the well-known and striking saying of Jesus to the dying brigand beside him, recorded by Luke (23.43). ‘Today,’ he said, ‘you will be with me in paradise.’ ‘Paradise’...

…if you’re walking with Jesus and you invite someone to walk with you, there is a good chance they’ll get to know Jesus somewhere along the way.

What we believe about God is the most important truth we believe, and it’s the one truth that does the most to shape us. God is the Sun too bright for us to see. Jesus...

Al contrario di quello che credeva Dante – e molte religioni – nel settimo cerchio non ci sono i suicidi. Dio ha capito che quelli già ne avevano passate abbastanza. Ci è arrivato da solo.

It took six days from start to finish for the totality of Creation; but within three days He cut His schedule in half to save you.

Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.

I want kids to understand that strength doesn’t come from what goes on around you. It comes from inside you, and that comes from Jesus Christ.

People’s love for us may change, depending on what we do or don’t do to please them. But God’s does not—it’s everlasting.

The gospel sets us free to become the romantic leaders of our marriages without fright or hesitation. Because we have been forever wooed by Jesus, we are now free to forever woo our wives.

Bombs have kill-radiuses; churches should have love-radiuses–anyone within twenty miles of a church should know it.

‎Those who aren’t following Jesus aren’t his followers. It’s that simple. Followers follow, and those who don’t follow aren’t followers. To follow Jesus means to follow Jesus into a society where justice rules, where love...

True worship can only take place when we agree to God sitting not only on His throne in the center of the universe, but on the throne that stands in the center of our heart.

Moreover, the fact that the Son of God became man through being conceived by the Holy Spirit and being born of the Virgin Mary, that is, not of the will of the flesh nor of...

Jesus obviously does not answer many questions from you or me. Which is why apologetics is always such a questionable enterprise. Jesus just doesn’t argue.

So I’ve been thinking. Do you believe there’s a hell?””Sure. Doesn’t everybody?””Well, what if this is hell, but we just don’t know it?””That’s crazy. Hell is like lakes of fire, and there are devils with...

Here is the paradox of the thing we call freedom: the farther we wander from God and the more we try to break free from him, the more enchained we become. Every step we take...

Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.

I believe God lets us stumble along, slowly finding our way, and giving us chances to pick each other up.

The Lord gave the wonderful promise of the free use of His Name with the Father in conjunction with doing His works. The disciple who lives only for Jesus’ work and Kingdom, for His will...

He takes no pleasure in human tears. He came and wept that He might stop forever the fountain of human tears. He came and bereaved His mother that He might heal all bereavement. He came...

Christ has global funeral, every Sunday and since twenty centuries. (Jésus a des funérailles mondiales, – Tous les dimanches, et depuis vingt siècles.)

There’s a place for doctrine and dogma, and science and history and apologetics, but, these things are not Jesus – they are humanly manufactured attempts to make people think that having the right ideas is...
