Christian Living Quotes

“Then 1 Peter 3:1-6 is to wives who are married to husbands who are disobedient. Don’t resort to verbally instructing your husband which becomes a form of harassments to the husband. Then he blows up. Wives aren’t their husband’s Holy Spirit. Live out Christ in front of him. You will react to unjust suffering as Christ, who had no sin in His life, did in 1 Peter 2:22,23. Your soul must be anchored in Christ. Treat your spouse as you would love another believer even if they are not a believer. This is what brings out Christlikeness in you. Cultivate a tender, compassion for him. Don’t allow him to drag you into despair. Pray for him instead. Be humble in all interactions with him. Don’t return evil for evil but even find ways to praise him. The world thinks this is foolishness and only fools do this. This is what Scripture tells us to do when we are undergoing unjust suffering. Serve Gods purpose that you may inherit a blessing. This is your mission field for the sake of Christ and for the sake of righteousness (1 Peter 3:9).”

“May your heart overflows with exceeding joy.”

“Some lay the blame on their own stupidity. Their minds are blunt and dull. They cannot catch God's meaning, which would be clear to others. … Believe in the great love of God, and cast yourselves upon it, sure that He will come down to your ignorance, and suit Himself to your needs, and will “gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall *gently lead* those that are with young” [Isaiah 40:11].”

“The Bible does not deny that we were various things—addicts, homosexuals, hateful, prideful, pornographic masturbators—but that is what we were (past tense) (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Titus 3:3-5). The emphasis in Scripture is on what we are and what we are called to be. The Christian does not say, Hello, my name is _____ and I am an X Y or Z.” The Christian says I was dead, but now I am alive. The Christian says I am a struggling sinner, yet I am a saint. The Christians says I am a new creation; I am transformed.”

“Have you ever experienced something in your life you never thought would touch you or your family? Have you ever felt like, ‘God! I thought we were friends, you and me? I thought you loved me. You don’t even seem to be acting according to You Word!’ …I have.”

“We may say, ‘God works all things together or good.’ But if we are not waiting with expectation for our ashes to turn to beauty, this remains head knowledge—not a reflection of our faith in a God who works the impossible on our behalf, simply because He loves us.”

“Holding an expectation of God actually honors Him. A heart of faith-filled expectation says, ‘I know You are good. I know You are all-powerful. I know You are a loving Father and a faithful friend, and I anticipate You being just that.”

“My focus had to be on God and who He is, not on the enemy and what he was doing. Darkness feeds on attention and fear, and I wasn't going to offer it any nourishment.”

“When you are going through a dark time, one side effect can be to forget the power and the goodness of God. When God isn’t doing what you think He should, it is easy to focus on the problem, and it suddenly becomes larger than the solution—which is God Himself.”

“We have often mistaken the seasons of ease in our lives for God’s blessing. God has blessed us, but what we don’t understand is that sometimes He is blessing us even more when everything appears to be falling apart at the seams.”

“God pushes us to offense—without explanation—and asks us the same question Jesus asked His disciples, ‘Do you also want to go away?’ And then we have a choice. We either believe or we don’t. We either let Him be God, or we put Him in a box.”

“As we know Him (intimately), sin loses its grip on us. Our love for Him deepens, and serving Him becomes a great joy and fulfillment, not a drudgery birthed out of performance.”

“Is it worth the sacrifice? Is it worth the cost? There was a time I told the Lord to “pick someone else. This is too hard!” I’m so thankful He turned a deaf ear.”

“So how can God take something tragic in our lives and bring good from it? The answer isn’t found so much in the ‘how,’ but in the ‘Who.’ The answer is found in who God is. It is found in His character. It is found in the essence of His presence, in the fragrance of His being. …It is found in a love so encompassing—so extravagant—we have not the mind to comprehend it.”

“It is a weapon of spiritual warfare to rejoice in the Lord, in full confidence of what God will produce from your darkness, and in the face of insurmountable evidence to the contrary.”

“Any place where my heart believes I have more love, compassion or mercy than God, I have elevated myself above Him and am believing a lie. And any place where I have placed limits on His love and power, I have humanized Him and reduced Him to what my mind can comprehend.”

“Ask Him for wisdom to understand what is actually the enemy at work in your life versus what is simply God allowing you to be buffeted and trained for your destiny.”

“No one is meant to fight a war against the enemy in vain. God delights in granting our request for redemptive spoils of our spiritual warfare.”

“We are not meant to come through our battles as merely survivors. We are meant to come off the battlefield as victors, and to lead others out to victory, as well.”

“Stop taking your creativity for granted, or even worse, forgetting it altogether. You are a child of God! He has given you not only the right to be creative, but also the capacity for creativity!”

“We live in a fallen world. We make mistakes. Recipes are misleading. Winging it can be dangerous if you don't know how to fly. Whatever the reason, some things just don't turn out for us because we simply aren't God.”
