Christian Quotation Of The Day (disciple, translation, Matthew, prophets)

[sandgirl]

God does not delight in our cowardice and withdrawal.

Satan is a personal enemy of Christ.

Many confuse understanding with believing.

People who cover their faults and excuse themselves do not have a repentant spirit.

A Christian life is an unending engagement on the battlefield.
Watchman Nee

[Birdy_56]

-P. T. Barnum-

Millions choose evil; may they not always choose it? The reply is that this is the sinner's will arrayed in battle against the Divine will. One must ultimately yield. I expect it will not be God. God will not coerce the sinner's will by force. He faces it as a consuming fire, and the day comes when the sinner sinks down beaten and cries out: 'God I yield.' Terrible is God against sin, foolish the soul that contests against Him...the sinner is one who has courage to enter a contest of his will against God's will. My orthodox friends tremble for God. I do not. I exhort them to 'have faith in God.'

Soulish Christians generally bend to certain directions. Most of them lean either towards emotion or towards reason.

Human beings do not readily admit desperation, but when they do, the kingdom of heaven draws near.

God takes no pleasure in our repenting over and over again as though this were sufficient; rather does He wish us to live in perpetual contrition.
Watchman Nee

[Birdy_56]

-Blaise Pascal-

There are only two kinds of men: the righteous, who believe themselves sinners; the rest, sinners who believe themselves righteous.

-J. B. Phillips-

Following the way of Jesus Christ and doing all we can for His cause and for our fellow men expresses something of our worship in action. But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing yet has been done.
C.S. Lewis

[Albert Finch]

I DOMINATE MY MIND AND MY BODY WITH MY SPIRIT SINCE I MAINTAIN MY SPIRIT PROPERLY--FEEDING, STRENGTHENING, AND DOMINATING MY INNER MAN WITH THE WORD.
