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
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
E. Stanley Jones
In the ordinary church, it is suppressed by respectability, by a desire to appear better than we really are.
E. Stanley Jones
In the prayer time, the battle of the spiritual life is lost or won.
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
You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.
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
When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent.
E. Stanley Jones
When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.
E. Stanley Jones
The only thing you believe in is the thing you believe in enough to practice. Your creed is your deed.
E. Stanley Jones
At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.
E. Stanley Jones
God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature - the urge to love and be loved - must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.
E. Stanley Jones
If you find something that gets hold of you in the Word, pass it on to somebody that very day.
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
A Rattlesnake, if Cornered will become so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harboring of hate and resentment against others is -- a biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to ourselves.
E. Stanley Jones
Surrender the thing you fear into the hands of God. Turn it right over to God and ask Him to solve it with you. Fear is keeping things in your own hands faith is turning them over into the hands of God.
E. Stanley Jones
If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.
E. Stanley Jones
A nail-pierced hand holds the sceptre of the universe, and my knees bend before him.
E. Stanley Jones
Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing - so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.
E. Stanley Jones
Very often when I haven't faith in my faith, I have to have faith in His faith. He makes me believe in myself and my possibilities, when I simply can't. I have to rise to His faith in me.
E. Stanley Jones
