If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
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
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
Image
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
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
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.

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

When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful no more, no less.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
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
Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
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
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.

The one supreme business of life is to find God's plan for your life and live it

Image
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.

A nail-pierced hand holds the sceptre of the universe, and my knees bend before him.

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