More quotes by Jim Cymbala
I have since learned that the most mature believer is the one who is bent over, leaning most heavily on the Lord, and admitting his total inability to do anything without Christ. The greatest Christian is not the one who has achieved the most but rather the one who has received the most.

To be a Christian, you can’t go with the flow. You have to go by the Word of God.

You can tell how popular a church is by who comes on Sunday morning. You can tell how popular the pastor or evangelist is by who comes on Sunday night. But you can tell how popular Jesus is by who comes to the prayer meeting.

The reason other churches don't grow: Jim, the truth is, I couldn't have a real prayer meeting in my church. I'd be embarrassed at the smallness of the crowd...

Your future and mine are determined by this one thing: seeking after the Lord.

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.

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
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
When we sincerely turn to God, we will find that His church always moves forward, not backward
Jim Cymbala
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.
Jim Cymbala
The fact that we were created to enjoy God and to worship him forever is etched upon our souls
Jim Cymbala
The more we pray, the more we sense our need to pray. And the more we sense a need to pray, the more we want to pray.
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.
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.

Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.
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
The birth of the church was during a prayer meeting, not preaching, not singing, but prayer.
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.

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!
