More quotes by E. Stanley Jones
Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.
E. Stanley Jones
If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
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
In conversion you are not attached primarily to an order, nor to an institution, nor a movement, nor a set of beliefs, nor a code of action - you are attached primarily to a Person, and secondarily to these other things.
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.
E. Stanley Jones
A road that perhaps more than any other leads to self atrophy is undedicated money.
E. Stanley Jones
When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.
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
Christianity not only saves you from sin, but from cynicism.
E. Stanley Jones
When I met Christ, I felt that I had swallowed sunshine.
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
Earth's blackest day and earth's brightest day are only three days apart.
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
The God I find in Christ is a God who overcomes evil with good, hate by love, and the world by a cross.
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
I have surrendered to God therefore I surrender to nothing else.
E. Stanley Jones
Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.
E. Stanley Jones
Don't wait for some miracle to be performed on you from without, lifting you above your fears and doubts and self-centeredness. You help God from within by turning in outgoing love to others, and miraculously your fears and doubts and self-centeredness will vanish. The miracle starts within, not from without.
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
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
