If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
Image
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.

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
Image
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
If you find something that gets hold of you in the Word, pass it on to somebody that very day.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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.

Image
If you don't make up your mind, your unmade mind will unmake you.

Image
A road that perhaps more than any other leads to self atrophy is undedicated money.

The BIBLE redirects my will, cleanses my emotions, enlightens my mind, and quickens my total being

If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.
