More quotes by E. Stanley Jones

Image
In the ordinary church, it is suppressed by respectability, by a desire to appear better than we really are.
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
Being born in a Christian home does not make you a Christian.
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
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.

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
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
Image
In conversion you are not attached primarily to an order, nor to an institution, nor a movement, nor a set of beliefs, nor a code of action - you are attached primarily to a Person, and secondarily to these other things.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Christianity not only saves you from sin, but from cynicism.
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
The only thing you believe in is the thing you believe in enough to practice. Your creed is your deed.
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.

Image
To live by worry is to live against reality
E. Stanley Jones
Image
The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions and the reactions are just as important as the actions.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
If you find something that gets hold of you in the Word, pass it on to somebody that very day.

Image
We grow small trying to be great.
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.

Image
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.

Where sin has abounded in me, Grace now much more abounds in me. I live by that 'much more.'
