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!

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.

Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.

Image
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.

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.

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
Image
The only thing you believe in is the thing you believe in enough to practice. Your creed is your deed.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
Image
Faith is not merely you holding on to God- it is God holding on to you

Image
A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.

Image
At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.

In the prayer time, the battle of the spiritual life is lost or won.

God doesn't have any grandchildren.

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.

The God I find in Christ is a God who overcomes evil with good, hate by love, and the world by a cross.
