“the usual attitude of Christians towards Jews is - I hardly know whether to say more impious or more stupid, when viewed in the light of their professed principles. ... They hardly know Christ was a Jew. And I find men, educated, supposing that Christ spoke Greek. To my feeling, this deadness to the history which has prepared half our world for us, this inability to find interest in any form of life that is not clad in the same coat-tails and flounces as our own, lies very close to the worst kind of irreligion.” KnowsMenWorldKindFeelingsLightChristianFormLyingInterestChristHalfAttitudePrinciplesWorstStupidPrejudicePreparedJewEducatedGreekSpokesOur WorldUsualTailsCoatsInabilityFind MeSupposingSupposing ThatIrreligion Author:George Eliot
“God never estimates what we give from impulse. We are given credit for what we determine in our hearts to give; for the giving that is governed by a fixed determination. The Spirit of God revolutionises our philanthropic instincts. Much of our philanthropy is simply the impulse to save ourselves an uncomfortable feeling. The Spirit of God alters all that. As saints our attitude towards giving is that we give for Jesus Christ's sake, and from no other motive.” GivingHeartFeelingsSpiritJesusGivenChristAttitudeJesus ChristDeterminationInstinctSakeSaintDetermineCreditImpulseFixedUncomfortableMotivePhilanthropySpirit Of GodPhilanthropicUncomfortable Feeling Book:The Quotable Oswald Chambers Source: The Quotable Oswald Chambers

“The trouble is that the whole 'accept Christ' attitude is likely to be wrong. It shows Christ applying to us rather than us to him. It makes him stand hat-in-hand awaiting our verdict on him, instead of our kneeling with troubled hearts awaiting his verdict on us. It may even permit us to accept Christ by an impulse of mind or emotions, painlessly, at no loss to our ego and no inconvenience to our usual way of life.” WayMindHeartMayWholeShowsHandsChristLossEmotionAttitudeAcceptingTroubleEgoImpulseHatsPermitUsualInconvenienceVerdictKneelingTroubled Heart Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer

“Sometimes when jerks become Christians, it's like a bully learning karate.

“My personal attitude is this: I will stand for revival, unity and prayer; I will labor to restore healing and reconciliation between God's people. Yet, if all God truly wanted was to raise up one fully yielded son--a son who would refuse to be offended, refuse to react, refuse to harbor unforgiveness regardless of those who slander and persecute--I have determined to be that person. My primary goal in all things is not revival, but to bring pleasure to Christ.” PeopleIfsPersonsWantedGoalChristPrayerPleasureHealingAttitudeSonLaborAll ThingsRaisesUnityRefuseDeterminedPrimariesOffendedReconciliationRevivalHarborsSlanderRaise Up Author:Francis Frangipane
“Happiness is about what happens to you; and, to an extent, it's dependent on your circumstances, your behaviors, and your attitudes. But the joy of Christ is much, much bigger. The joy of Christ is about relationship with a person. It's something you have access to, but it's also something you must choose. Christian joy shows up not only in the happy times but also in times of trial and discouragement.” ChristianJoyChristAttitudeCircumstancesBehaviorDiscouragement Author:David Jeremiah
