In the prayer time, the battle of the spiritual life is lost or won.
E. Stanley Jones
Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian.
E. Stanley Jones
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.
E. Stanley Jones
Jesus will meet me today in the person of someone in need-I must not miss him.
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
A nail-pierced hand holds the sceptre of the universe, and my knees bend before him.
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
The BIBLE redirects my will, cleanses my emotions, enlightens my mind, and quickens my total being
E. Stanley Jones
Earth's blackest day and earth's brightest day are only three days apart.
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
I have surrendered to God therefore I surrender to nothing else.
E. Stanley Jones
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!
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
When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.
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
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
Everybody who belongs to Christ belongs to everybody who belongs to Christ
E. Stanley Jones
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
When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.
E. Stanley Jones
When I met Christ, I felt that I had swallowed sunshine.
