If Christ came back today and started teaching, we
would put him on the cross quicker than we did 2,000
years ago.A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerated the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable.A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip. America's founding fathers did not intend to take religion out of education. Many of the nation's greatest universities were founded by evangelists and religious leaders; but many of these have lost the founders concept and become secular institutions. Because of this attitude, secular education is stumbling and floundering.Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short God and His will for us.Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ. Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle's light.Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out. Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has. Out of pain and problems have come the sweetest songs, and the most gripping stories.Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened. Everybody has a little bit of Watergate in him. God has given us two hands - one to receive with and the other to give with.God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ''I love you.''Heaven will be the perfection we have always longed for. All the things that made Earth unlovely and tragic will be absent in Heaven.Hot heads and cold hearts never solved anything.I have seen men in the depth of wickedness, and I
have thought to myself, "There I go, except by the
grace of God."I think when a person has been found guilty of rape he should be castrated. That would stop him pretty quick.I've read the last page of the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right.If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life. If Christ came back today and started teaching, we would
put him on the cross quicker than we did 2,000 years ago.If I didn't have spiritual faith, I would be a pessimist. But I'm an optimist. I've read the last page in the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right.It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.It's not easy to be a Christian. You cannot follow
Jesus unless you are ready to deny yourself.No man ever loved like Jesus. He taught the blind to see and the dumb to speak. He died on the cross to save us. He bore our sins. And now God says, ''Because He did, I can forgive you.''Only those who want everything done for them are bored.Out of defeat can come the best in human nature. As Christians face storms of adversity, they may rise with more beauty. They are like trees that grow on mountain ridges -- battered by winds, yet trees in which we find the strongest wood.Spiritism, Eastern mysticism, reincarnation, and countless other occult beliefs offer seductive answers which remove the fear of death but at the expense of denying God's truth.Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength. The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.' The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the same.The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.' There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches but the wrong comes when the riches possess men.Transcendental Meditation is evil because . . . it
opens space within you for the devil.What we all need to do is return to the Bible afresh--
not going to it to prove a point, but seeing what
it says as the Holy Spirit opens our eyes.When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost. |
