If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--that is the rest of victory!" ~ Alan Redpath

"Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong.

"Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope." ~ Rick Warren
"What you need to do, is to put your will over completely into the hands of your Lord, surrendering to Him the entire control of it. Say, "Yes, Lord, YES!" to everything, and trust Him to work in you to will, as to bring your whole wishes and affections into conformity with His own sweet, and lovable, and most lovely will. It is wonderful what miracles God works in wills that are utterly surrendered to Him. He turns hard things into easy, and bitter things into sweet. It is not that He puts easy things in the place of the hard, but He actually changes the hard thing into an easy one." ~ Hannah Whitall Smith

"You will never forgive anyone more than God has already forgiven you." ~ Max Lucado
"Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us. Reject any suggestion that God is unduly severe with you. Resist with the utmost abhorrence anything that causes you to doubt God's love and his loving-kindness toward you. Allow nothing to make you question the Father's love for his child." ~ Arthur W. Pink

"This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness" ~ David Platt

"You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself." ~ Charles Spurgeon
"Although the sovereignty of God is universal and absolute, it is not the sovereignty of blind power. It is coupled with infinite wisdom, holiness and love. And this doctrine, when properly understood, is a most comforting and reassuring one. Who would not prefer to have his affairs in the hands of a God of infinite power, wisdom, holiness and love, rather than to have them left to fate, or chance, or irrevocable natural law, or to short-sighted and perverted self? Those who reject God's sovereignty should consider what alternatives they have left." ~ Loraine Boettner
"I know deep hurt. But I also know deep hope. Sometimes God's power is shown as much in preventing things as it is in making them happen. We may never know why. But we can always know and trust the Who." ~ Lysa TerKeurst
"God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return." ~ Charles Spurgeon
"God gave me emotions so I could experience life, not destroy it" ~ Lysa TerKeurst
"Our God is abundant in love and steadfast in mercy. He saves us, not because we trust in a symbol, but because we trust in a Savior." ~ Max Lucado
"Men are not revived because they sing; they sing because they are revived." ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
"I have come to believe that we do not walk alone in this life.

I believe God is the weaver at that loom." ~ Richard Paul Evans
"The presence of the Holy Spirit isthe keystone of all our hopes." ~ John Nelson Darby

"The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times." ~ Rick Warren
"We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children." ~ Muhammad Ali
"As Christians, we say what God has said over and over until the thing promised in His Word and desired in our hearts is fully manifested in our lives." ~ T. B. Joshua
"The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case." ~ Charles Spurgeon

"I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults.

"The next time you find yourself alone in a dark alley facing the undeniables of life, don't cover them with a blanket, or ignore them with a nervous grin.

"Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God." ~ Oswald Chambers
"Keep your life in its constant contact with God that his surprising power may break out on the right hand and on the left. Always be in a state of expectancy, and see that you leave room for God to come in as he likes." ~ Oswald Chambers
"When I see Jesus Christ I simply want to be what He wants me to be." ~ Oswald Chambers
"God...doesn't intend to help us live the Christian life. Immaturity considers the Lord Jesus a Helper. Maturity knows Him to be life itself." ~ Miles J. Stanford
"As long as we are flippant and stupid and shallow and think that we know ourselves, we shall never give ourselves over to Jesus Christ; but when once we become conscious that we are infinitely more than we can fathom, and infinitely greater in possibility either for good or bad than we can know, we shall be only too glad to hand ourselves over to Him." ~ Oswald Chambers
"I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith. It will be saved by the righteous citizens of this nation who love and cherish freedom. It will be saved by enlightened members of this Church-among others-men and women who understand and abide the principles of the Constitution....I testify that the God of heaven sent some of His choicest spirits to lay the foundation of this government, and He has now sent other choice spirits to help preserve it." ~ Ezra Taft Benson

"In spite of calamity, He still has a plan for me, And it's working for my good, And it's building my testimony." ~ Marvin Sapp
"Patience is tied very closely to faith in our Heavenly Father. Actually, when we are unduly impatient, we are suggesting that we know what is best—better than does God. Or, at least, we are asserting that our timetable is better than His. We can grow in faith only if we are willing to wait patiently for God's purposes and patterns to unfold in our lives, on His timetable." ~ Neal A. Maxwell
"A true faith in Jesus Christ will not suffer us to be idle. No, it is an active, lively, restless principle; it fills the heart, so that it cannot be easy till it is doing something for Jesus Christ." ~ George Whitefield
"Preach Christ or nothing: don't dispute or discuss except with your eye on the cross." ~ Charles Spurgeon
"Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!" ~ Andrew Murray
"My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But following Christ does not mean following His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become." ~ Anne Rice
"Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way." ~ Oswald Chambers
"Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith." ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer

"As I make goals for this year... Jesus, let your thoughts become my thoughts and bend my will to Your will." ~ Lysa TerKeurst
"One of the greatest snares is the number of good things we might do. Jesus Christ never did the good things He might have done, He did everything He ought to do because He had His eye fixed on His Father's will and He sacrificed Himself for His Father." ~ Oswald Chambers
"There is no such thing as low-cost Christianity. Following Jesus means swimming against the tide, renouncing evil and selfishness" ~ Pope Francis

"Anyone, then, who desires to live chastely in Christ Jesus, must flee not only the mouse of lust, but even from its very scent." ~ Anthony of Padua
"Faith, sympathy - fiery faith and fiery sympathy! Life is nothing, death is nothing, hunger nothing, cold nothing. Glory unto the Lord - march on, the Lord is our General. Do not look back to see who falls - forward - onward! Thus and thus we shall go on, brethren. One falls, and another takes up the work" ~ Swami Vivekananda
"In sha Allah, God willing, must be the expression of humility of the active actors and it must never be the justification of the passive observers" ~ Tariq Ramadan
"Why should we give God thanks? Because everything we have comes from God." ~ Billy Graham
"We don't ask any people to throw away any good they have got; we only ask them to come and get more. What if all the world should embrace this Gospel? They would then see eye to eye, and the blessings of God would be poured out upon the people, which is the desire of my whole soul." ~ Joseph Smith, Jr.
"Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything." ~ Aiden Wilson Tozer
"As Elisabeth Elliot points out, not even dying a martyr’s death is classified as extraordinary obedience when you are following a Savior who died on a cross. Suddenly a martyr’s death seems like normal obedience." ~ David Platt
"Whoever uncouples the religious and the social life has not understood Jesus. Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master." ~ Walter Rauschenbusch
"If you have the smile of God what does it matter if you have the frown of men?" ~ Leonard Ravenhill
"We often think of great faith as something that happens spontaneously so that we can be used for a miracle or healing. However, the greatest faith of all, and the most effective, is to live day by day trusting Him. It is trusting Him so much that we look at every problem as an opportunity to see His work in our life." ~ Rick Joyner
"Faith and repentance are the same; they are not two separate decisions. One cannot trust Christ as Savior without repenting or changing his mind. The very fact that he trusts Christ for salvation shows that he has changed his mind regarding sin, salvation, and God." ~ Curtis Hutson
"I believe passionately that Christianity is a way of life, not a theological system with which one must be in intellectual agreement. I feel that Christ would admit into discipleship anyone who sincerely desired to follow him, and allow that disciple to make his creed out of his experience; to listen, to consider, to pray, to follow, and ultimately to believe only those convictions about which the experience of fellowship made him sure." ~ Leslie Weatherhead
"The born-again Christian sees life not as a blurred , confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful." ~ Billy Graham
"Broken I run to you for your arms are open wide. I am weary but I know your touch restores my life." ~ Kathryn Scott

"When you suffer, don't speak. Look inside and listen for the duaa He inspires in you. and then ask Him. Again and again. Don't stop." ~ Yasmin Mogahed
"The Lord came to send fire upon the earth (cf. Lk. 12:49), and through participation in this fire He makes divine not just the human substance which He assumed for our sake, but every person who is found worthy of communion with Him." ~ Gregory Palamas
"The wizard [of Oz] says look inside yourself and find self. God says look inside yourself and find [the Holy Spirit]. The first will get you to Kansas. The latter will get you to heaven. Take your pick." ~ Max Lucado

"Be BLESSED-spirit, soul, body and financially." ~ Kenneth Copeland

"The Christian is joyful, not because he is blind to injustice and suffering, but because he is convinced that these, in the light of the divine sovereignty, are never ultimate. The Christian can be sad, and often is perplexed, but he is never really worried, because he knows that the purpose of God is to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ." ~ D. Elton Trueblood
"Leading with integrity is embracing honesty! We should always use our weaknesses to point others to Christ's strength." ~ Perry Noble
"Faith in the biblical sense is substantive, based on the knowledge that the One in whom that faith is placed has proven that He is worthy of that trust. In its essence, faith is a confidence in the person of Jesus Christ and in His power, so that even when His power does not serve my end, my confidence in Him remains because of who He is." ~ Ravi Zacharias
"So often it hurts us that we are not able to focus in our prayers. Remember, the more you focus on Allah outside your salah, the easier it will be to focus on Him inside your salah. What occupies you in salah, is what occupies you outside of salah. Try to fill your mind and heart with Allah as much as you can throughout your day. Talk to Him, make duaa to Him constantly. This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend." ~ Yasmin Mogahed
"Allah manages everything in the heavens and earth—the sun, the moon, the stars—with perfection, and yet we don’t trust Him to manage our lives!" ~ Yasmin Mogahed

"It is in the quiet crucible of your personal, private sufferings that your noblest dreams are born and God's greatest gifts are given." ~ Wintley Phipps

"There is a ripple effect to the gospel that’s inevitable. There’s a ripple effect to true grace. It doesn’t lead us to only sit and contemplate what hap- pened to us. It leads us to proclaim what’s happened to us—and what can happen to anybody and everybody on the planet." ~ Louie Giglio

"Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners.

God save us from the cozy comfort of lukewarm contemporary Christianity." ~ Ray Comfort
