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.

More quotes by E. Stanley Jones
God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature - the urge to love and be loved - must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.
E. Stanley Jones
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
When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.
E. Stanley Jones
If you don't make up your mind, your unmade mind will unmake you.
E. Stanley Jones
We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.
E. Stanley Jones
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
An individual gospel without a social gospel is a soul without a body and a social gospel without an individual gospel is a body without a soul. One is a ghost, the other a corpse.
E. Stanley Jones
When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is 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
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
Earth's blackest day and earth's brightest day are only three days apart.
E. Stanley Jones
A reduced Christ is the same as a rejected Christ.
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
We grow small trying to be great.
E. Stanley Jones
When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent.
E. Stanley Jones
When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful no more, no less.
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
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
I have surrendered to God therefore I surrender to nothing else.
E. Stanley Jones
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
