Christianity not only saves you from sin, but from cynicism.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
E. Stanley Jones
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.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
Image
When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful no more, no less.
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
We must be willing to be guided of God, not merely now and then, but as a life proposition.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent.

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

Image
A nail-pierced hand holds the sceptre of the universe, and my knees bend before him.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
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
Image
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.
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.
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.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Be so preoccupied with good will that you haven't room for ill will.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
When we talk about what we believe we divide. When we talk about who we believe in we unite.

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

If you find something that gets hold of you in the Word, pass it on to somebody that very day.

We grow small trying to be great.
