Image
When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
Image
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!

Image
If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.
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.

Image
If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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.

Image
When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.

Image
Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Earth's blackest day and earth's brightest day are only three days apart.
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
Faith is not merely you holding on to God- it is God holding on to you
E. Stanley Jones
Image
We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
To live by worry is to live against reality
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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.

The only thing you believe in is the thing you believe in enough to practice. Your creed is your deed.

We grow small trying to be great.

Christianity not only saves you from sin, but from cynicism.
