More quotes by E. Stanley Jones
No person is free until he or she is free at the center. When we let go there, we are free indeed. When the self is renounced, then one stands utterly disillusioned, apart, asking for nothing. If anything comes to us, it is all sheer gain. Then life becomes one constant surprise.
E. Stanley Jones
To implant fear in the minds of children is a crime. If parents try to rule the child by fear, then fear rules the child.
E. Stanley Jones
Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.
E. Stanley Jones
There are two ways to be rich - one in the abundance of your possessions and the other in the fewness of your wants.
E. Stanley Jones
To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.
E. Stanley Jones
We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.
E. Stanley Jones
To talk with God, no breath is lost. Talk on! To walk with God, no strength is lost. Walk on! To wait on God, no time is lost. Wait on!
E. Stanley Jones
If the Holy Spirit can take over the subconscious with our consent and cooperation, then we have almighty Power working at the basis of our lives, then we can do anything we ought to do, go anywhere we ought to go, and be anything we ought to be.
E. Stanley Jones
In the prayer time, the battle of the spiritual life is lost or won.
E. Stanley Jones
Your powers are dead or dedicated. If they are dedicated, they are alive with God and tingle with surprising power. If they are saved up, taken care of for their own ends, they are dead.
E. Stanley Jones
When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful no more, no less.
E. Stanley Jones
The opponent strikes you on your cheek, and you strike him on the heart by your amazing spiritual audacity in turning the other cheek. You wrest the offensive from him by refusing to take his weapons, by keeping your own, and by striking him in his conscience from a higher level. He hits you physically, and you hit him spiritually.
E. Stanley Jones
Prayer is surrender--surr ender to the will of God and cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.
E. Stanley Jones
Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.
E. Stanley Jones
When I met Christ, I felt that I had swallowed sunshine.
E. Stanley Jones
Faith is not merely you holding on to God- it is God holding on to you
E. Stanley Jones
We grow small trying to be great.
E. Stanley Jones
The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions and the reactions are just as important as the actions.

God doesn't have any grandchildren.

A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.
