“Spread out your petition before God, and then say, “Thy will, not mine, be done.” The sweetest lesson I have learned in God’s school is to let the Lord choose for me.”

I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ’s funeral sermons, but I couldn’t find any. I found He broke up every funeral He ever attended! Death couldn’t exist where He was.

Whitewashing the pump won’t make the water pure.

God has cast our confessed sins into the depths of the sea, and He’s even put a ‘No Fishing’ sign over the spot.

More depends on my walk than talk.

Faith makes all things possible, love makes all things easy.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

I have never met a man who has given me as much trouble as myself.

Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

I’d rather be able to pray than to be a great preacher; Jesus Christ never taught his disciples how to preach, but only how to pray.

When a man is not deeply convicted of sin, it is a pretty sure sign that he has not truly repented. Experience has taught me that men who have very slight conviction of sin sooner or later lapse back into their old life.

It is not the man that can preach the best that is the most successful, but the man who knows how to get his people together to pray.

The measure of a man is not how many servants he has but how many men he serves .

A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.

The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.

Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.

The first thing a man must do if he desires to be used in the Lord’s work, is to make an unconditional surrender of himself to God.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny – it is the light that guides your way.

You never know how strong you can be until being strong is the only choice you have left.

I don’t regret any of the life decisions I’ve made in my life because with every choice I’ve made I’ve learned something new.

Regretting some of my life choices now. How was I to know that hell would be full of Rhodesian farmers and sodomites?

You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead.

Choose the way of life. Choose the way of love. Choose the way of caring. Choose the way of goodness. It’s up to you. It’s your choice.

The democratic choice Russian people made in the early 90’s is final.

No thought, no mind, no choice – just being silent, rooted in yourself.
