More quotes by Alan Redpath
The Bible NEVER flatters its heroes. It tells us the truth about each one of them in order that against the background of human breakdown and failure we may magnify the grace of God and recognize that it is the delight of the Spirit of God to work upon the platform of human impossibilities.

The best place any Christian can ever be in is to be totally destitute and totally dependant upon God, and know it.
Alan Redpath
Let us learn this lesson from Nehemiah: you never lighten the load unless first you have felt the pressure in your own soul. You are never used of God to bring blessing until God has opened your eyes and made you see things as they are.
Alan Redpath
It's Satan's delight to tell me that once he's got me, he will keep me. But at that moment I can go back to God. And I know that if I confess my sins, God is faithful and just to forgive me.
Alan Redpath
There is no circumstance, no trouble, no testing, that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with great purpose.

No man can use his Bible with power unless he has the character of Jesus in his heart.

Deep down in the Christian's life, always and all the time, there is to be a no to every demand that the flesh may make for recognition, and every demand that the flesh may make for approval, and every demand that the flesh may make for vindication. Always the Christian must bear about in his body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
Alan Redpath
Let's keep our chins up and our knees down - we're on the victory side.
Alan Redpath
Before we can pray, Lord, Thy Kingdom come, we must be willing to pray, My Kingdom go.
Alan Redpath
We are fit for the work of God only when we have wept over it, prayed about it, and then we are enabled by Him to tackle the job that needs to be done.
Alan Redpath
How far must a Christian go in order to be saved? Only to the Cross. But if I am disobeying God in my life and cast off His law, it is an absolute declaration of the fact that within my heart I have abandoned worship at the Cross.
Alan Redpath
When we get to the end of ourselves, we get to the beginning of God.
Alan Redpath
We are not saved in order to be a blessing to other people--you will be that inevitably--but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God's Son.
Alan Redpath
Faith is two empty hands held open to receive all of the Lord
Alan Redpath
What we are is much more important to Him than what we do for Him. We mean far more to God than the work we do.
Alan Redpath
Give up the struggle and the fight relax in the omnipotence of the Lord Jesus look up into His lovely face and as you behold Him, He will transform you into His likeness. You do the beholding - He does the transforming. There is no short-cut to holiness.

THINK before you speak. Is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind?
Alan Redpath
Return to the battle again, no longer trusting in the false and insufficient human resources which so foolishly we had taken into the battle, but now trusting in the limitless resources of our risen Lord.
