More quotes by 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
In the ordinary church, it is suppressed by respectability, by a desire to appear better than we really are.
E. Stanley Jones
When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.
E. Stanley Jones
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
To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.
E. Stanley Jones
If we know how to pray, we know how to live.
E. Stanley Jones
To live by worry is to live against reality
E. Stanley Jones
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.

Jesus will meet me today in the person of someone in need-I must not miss him.
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
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
A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.
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
God doesn't have any grandchildren.
E. Stanley Jones
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
E. Stanley Jones
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.
E. Stanley Jones
A road that perhaps more than any other leads to self atrophy is undedicated money.
E. Stanley Jones
The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions and the reactions are just as important as the actions.
