Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

"The thing that preserves a man from panic is his relationship to God."

 - Oswald Chambers

Words to Live By

"It's a more certain proposition to follow the Lord, not knowing where you're going, than to think you know where you're going and you're not following the Lord." - Pastor Jack Hayford, Pursuing the Will of God.

Words of Wisdom

Is God aloof from human pain

That ravages our mortal frame?

Oh, no, Christ felt our agony

When sin and death He overcame!

- D. De Haan

It's Good Friday. Do you know where your Savior is?

Words of Worship

Our Lord is worthy all our days

Of all our love and highest praise;

He died to take our sin and shame -

Oh, bless the Savior's holy name!

- Egner

Words of Wisdom

All God's testings have a purpose -

Someday you will see the light;

All He asks is that you trust Him,

Walk by faith and not by sight.

- Zoller

Inspirational Quote

"If all things could be known to us as they are known to God, we should bless him with all our hearts for keeping us under the smarting rod, and not sparing us for our crying. If we could know the end as well as the beginning, we should praise the Lord for closed doors, and frowning looks, and unanswered petitions...If we can glorify God by being denied what we seek, we desire to be denied. Greatest of all our prayers, and sum of all the rest is this one, "Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."

- Charles Sturgeon, According To Promise

Another Great Thought

"You have heard it said that worry doesn't change anything...but it does. Worry changes you! It changes your capacity to make decisions, your energy level, your personality, and even your phyical appearance. Most of all, it changes your view of God. Worry belongs to those who believe in a small, weak god...so they have to take matters into their own hands."

- Ron Moore, The Journey Radio Ministry

"Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing." - Luke 12:22-23

Have a blessed, worry-free day!

Thought of the Day

"We can trust men too much, but we can never do so towards God. It is the surest thing that has been, or that can ever be. To believe His Word is to believe what none can fairly question. Has God said it? Then so it must be."

Charles Sturgeon, According to Promise

Quote of the Day

To be brutally honest, it doesn't really matter what place you find yourself in right now. Your part is to bring Him glory - whether eating a sandwich on a lunch break, drinking coffee at 12:04 a.m. so you can stay awake to study, or watching your four-month-old take a nap. The point of your life is to point to Him.

- Francis Chan, Crazy Love

Thursday Thought

God's unseen presence comforts me,

I know He's always near;

And when life's storms besiege our soul,

He says, "My child, I'm here."

- D. De Haan

Thursday Thought

"My Lord, I have received much from thee, blessed be thy name for it; but there is yet a promise more which I have not enjoyed; therefore I will go forward till I attain its fulfillment! The future is an unknown country, but I enter it with thy promise, and expect to find in it the same goodness and mercy which have followed me hitherto; yea, I look for greater things than these."

- Charles H. Spurgeon, According to Promise

A Great Quote to Think About

"I am sure that never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States; and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our Revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them."

George Washington

Here's a Great Quote...

"Before I was married I had three theories about raising children.

Now I have three children and no theories."

- John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester

A Saint Speaks

"The people who are of absolutely no use to God are those who have sat down and have become overgrown with spiritual mildew; all they can do is to refer to an experience they had twenty or thirty years ago. That is of no use whatever; we must be vitally at it all the time. With Paul it was never 'an experience I once had,' but 'the life which I now live.'"

- Oswald Chambers

A Saint Speaks

"The Bible is God's message to everybody. We deceive ourselves if we claim to want to hear His voice but neglect the primary channel through which it comes. We must read His Word. We must obey it. We must live it, which means rereading it throughout our lives."

- Elisabeth Elliot, as quoted in Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer

A Saint Speaks

"I know God is speaking when what I hear is consistent with what I know about Him. I remember a time when someone told me something my husband Keith said. It wasn't negative. It just didn't sound like him. I found out later it was a different Keith Moore. I knew deep inside that wasn't my man. Likewise we can know deep inside, 'That just isn't my God.' I've got to know God and His Word well enough to know what 'sounds' like Him and what doesn't. He never speaks contrary to His Word and His character."

- Beth Moore, as quoted in Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer

A Saint Speaks

"When you read your Bible, receive and savor it like a love letter from God to you. Remember, you're reading in order to meet Someone. Ponder what you have read, and apply it to your present circumstances. Let it go down into the core of your being. And as you read, expect Him to commune with you."

Bruce Wilkerson, as quoted in Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer.

Just for fun...

Shtarker: "Sir, if I may ask, how did you choose the target? Why Los Angeles?"
Siegfried: "Major city, lots of media attention, and the President will be there."
Shtarker: "Still, it's too bad about all the dead movie stars."
Siegfried: "Yes. What will we do without their razor-sharp political advice?"

- Get Smart, 2008

REALLY Love this quote!

"What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow."

- Martin Luther

Still Another Great Quote

"The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else."

- Oswald Chambers
