More quotes by E. Stanley Jones
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
E. Stanley Jones
If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
E. Stanley Jones
Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing - so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.
E. Stanley Jones
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
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
The one supreme business of life is to find God's plan for your life and live it
E. Stanley Jones
Everybody who belongs to Christ belongs to everybody who belongs to Christ
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
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
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.
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 BIBLE redirects my will, cleanses my emotions, enlightens my mind, and quickens my total being
E. Stanley Jones
We grow small trying to be great.
E. Stanley Jones
God doesn't have any grandchildren.
E. Stanley Jones
A nail-pierced hand holds the sceptre of the universe, and my knees bend before him.
E. Stanley Jones
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
If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.
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
When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.
E. Stanley Jones
If you don't make up your mind, your unmade mind will unmake you.
