More quotes by E. Stanley Jones

Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Image
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.

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

Faith is not merely you holding on to God- it is God holding on to you

Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.

At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.

We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.

Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.

The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions and the reactions are just as important as the actions.

I have surrendered to God therefore I surrender to nothing else.

A nail-pierced hand holds the sceptre of the universe, and my knees bend before him.

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.
