People who have a seeking heart still make mistakes. But their reaction to rebuke and correction shows the condition of that heart. It determines what God is able to do with them in the future.

More quotes by Jim Cymbala
People pay attention when they see that God actually changes persons and sets them free. When a new Christian stands up and tells how God has revolutionized his or her life, no one dozes off. When someone is healed or released from a life-controlling bondage, everyone takes notice.
Jim Cymbala
The Bible does not say we should aim at numbers but rather urges us faithfully to proclaim God's message in the boldness of the Holy Spirit. This will build God's church God's way.
Jim Cymbala
The old saying is true: If you have only the Word, you dry up. If you have only the Spirit, you blow up. But if you have both, you grow up.
Jim Cymbala
It's not about being a Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, or 5-Point Calvinist. God has only one family and, as Christians, we're in it!
Jim Cymbala
Persistent calling upon the name of the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times there is simply no other way.
Jim Cymbala
God nowhere asks anyone to have a large church. He only calls us to do his work, proclaiming his Word to people he loves under anointing power of the Holy Spirit to produce results that only he can bring about.
Jim Cymbala
To be a Christian, you can’t go with the flow. You have to go by the Word of God.
Jim Cymbala
The devil is not terribly frightened of our human efforts and credentials. But he knows his kingdom will be damaged when we begin to lift up our hearts to God.
Jim Cymbala
God is not aloof. He is not disconnected. He says continually through the centuries, I’ll help you, I really will. When you don’t know where to turn, then turn to me. When you’re ready to throw up your hands - throw them up to me. Put your voice behind them too, and I’ll come and help you.

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.
Jim Cymbala
He (God) is not looking for smart people, because He is the smart one. All he wants are people simple enough to trust him.
Jim Cymbala
Every time we open the Bible, let's stop and pray, whether for fifteen seconds or fifteen minutes, asking the Spirit to teach us. When I read the Bible, I want God to talk to my soul.
Jim Cymbala
The key is not money organization, cleverness, or education. Are you and I seeing the results Peter saw? Are we bringing thousands of men and women to Christ the way he did? If not, we need to get back to His power source.
Jim Cymbala
Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.
Jim Cymbala
The main thing that God asks for is our attention.
Jim Cymbala
When we see only what we want to see in the Bible, it loses all power to transform us.
Jim Cymbala
If we repeatedly read the Bible without the help of the Holy Spirit, it tends to reinforce our own prejudices and rock-hard doctrinal positions. We end up merely finding ammunition for what we already believe. We become so spiritually proud, so convinced of our own positions, that the Spirit is hindered in helping us to grow in the things of God.
Jim Cymbala
Oh, how we need to wake up to the fact that the Holy Spirit’s blessing and power is the key to everything.
Jim Cymbala
Faith never denies reality but leaves room for God to grant a new reality.
Jim Cymbala
By not forgiving, by not letting wrongs go, we aren't getting back at anyone. We are merely punishing ourselves by barricading our own hearts.
