“If I get married, I think I'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. A newspaperman is a regular fellow.” Quote by Anna Held
“God's favorites, especially God's favorites, are not immune from the bewildering times when God seems silent. Where there is no longer any opportunity for doubt, there is no longer any opportunity for faith either. Faith demands uncertainty, confusion. The Bible includes many proofs of God's concern - some quite spectacular - but no guarantess. A guarantee would, after all, preclude faith.” SeemsFaithOpportunityReligiousDoubtDemandConcernSilentProofConfusionUncertaintyGuaranteesSpectacularImmuneProof Of God Author:Paul Tournier

“The very fact that faith looks to a power beyond itself means that it is continually subject to loss of control. So if you're looking to get control of all your problems, forget Christianity. If you're looking for success, happiness, or freedom from pain, forget Christ. The way of Christ is the cross, and the cross spells weakness, poverty, failure, death.” IfsWayLooksMeanFactsProblemPainFaithChristReligiousLossForgetChristianityPovertySubjectsWeaknessCrossesSpellsSuccess HappinessFreedom From Pain Author:Mike Mason
“Take away material prosperity; take away emotional highs; take away miracles and healing; take away fellowship with other believers; take away church; take away all opportunity for service; take away assurance of salvation; take away the peace and joy of the Holy Spirit... Yes! Take it all, all, far, far away. And what is left? Tragically, for many believers there would be nothing left. For does our faith really go that deep? Or do we, in the final analysis, have a cross-less Christianity?” DoeWould BeJoySpiritFaithOpportunityLeftChurchReligiousHealingChristianityEmotionalMaterialsHolyCrossesMiracleSalvationFinalsProsperityBelieverAnalysisHoly SpiritFar AwayAssuranceFellowshipPeace And JoyAssurance Of Salvation Author:Mike Mason
“God allows us to dace difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer.” WayNeedsFacesFaithOpportunityWinningReligiousPrayerBattleDifficultyTrialsOne WayExcellentDependenceRefinedDiscouragementHumblingDependence On God Author:Charles Stanley
“Prayer is an act of faith. Just by praying to God, you are declaring our trust in someone other than yourself. Your faith is increased as you pray and watch how God answers your prayers. God says in Jeremiah 33:3, Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know. God is awesome in power and there is never a time when He is not beside you. He is faithful and holy.” KnowsFaithReligiousPrayerAnswersWatchesPrayingHolyFaithfulOur PrayersKnowing GodPraying To GodDeclaringBeside YouJeremiah Author:Charles Stanley
