“Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.”

Ah, if I could only pray the way that dog looks at meat.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.

A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.

We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished.

God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

When Satan tells me I am a sinner he comforts me immeasurably, since Christ died for sinners.

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

Lord, grant that anger or other bitterness does not reign over us, but that your grace, genuine kindness, loyalty, and every kind of friendliness, generosity, and gentleness may reign in us. Amen

I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.

God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.

Whatever you love most, that is your god.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

A gospel that doesn’t deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.

I have the choice to be angry at God for what i don’t have, or be thankful for what i do have

But Christ’s lore and his apostles twelve, He taught and first he followed it himself.

And at home by the fire, whenever you look up there I shall be— and whenever I look up, there will be you.

Surely if God had meant us to do yoga, he would have put our heads behind our knees.

God, I want to see You. God, I want to hear You. God, I want to know You. God, I want to follow hard after You. And even before I know what I will face today, I say yes to You.

When God doesn’t change a circumstance, He can change our hearts in knowing that He can change all things for the good.

I just hope people see that if God can do something beautiful with my broken pieces, then God truly has a plan for each and everyone of us.

Remember: even the smallest drop of God’s strength is more than enough to cover our frailties, our shortcomings, and the places where we deem ourselves weak.
