More quotes by 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
A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.
E. Stanley Jones
We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins.
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
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
When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.
E. Stanley Jones
In the prayer time, the battle of the spiritual life is lost or won.
E. Stanley Jones
The Indian is making an amazing discovery, namely that Christianity and Jesus are not the same - that they may have Jesus without the system that has been built up around Him in the West.
E. Stanley Jones
When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent.
E. Stanley Jones
God doesn't have any grandchildren.
E. Stanley Jones
An individual gospel without a social gospel is a soul without a body and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. One is a ghost, the other a corpse.
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
We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.
E. Stanley Jones
If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
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
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
E. Stanley Jones
The one supreme business of life is to find God's plan for your life and live it
E. Stanley Jones
Jesus will meet me today in the person of someone in need-I must not miss 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
