“The search of the Holy Grail or the voyage towards a new continent never enlisted so much energy and so much faith as does this pursuit of youth by old age.

“Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.” MenSelfActionReligionHolyAimFoundationImprovementPursuitObediencePurityHolinessTemperBenevolenceObedience To God Author:Jonathan Edwards
“Because the Holy Spirit is God, we feel Him as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. When He does that, He uses us. He melts us in relationships. He molds us in the pursuit and the direction of His will. He fills us with power and the perseverance to keep at it. He uses as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. Ask the Spirit of God to use you, just as you are, with the gifts and abilities that He's given you. Secure in the confidence that God is in control of your life, you will be free to serve Him with joy and effectiveness.” FeelsDoeUseJoySpiritAsksGivenAbilityOur LivesCircumstancesHolyPerseverancePursuitSecureHoly SpiritEffectivenessMoldSpirit Of GodGod Is In ControlControl Of Your Life Author:Charles R.

“If we had nothing but pecuniary rewards and worldly honours to look to, our profession would not be one to be desired. But in its practice you will find it to be attended with peculiar privileges, second to none in intense interest and pure pleasures. It is our proud office to tend the fleshly tabernacle of the immortal spirit, and our path, rightly followed, will be guided by unfettered truth and love unfeigned. In the pursuit of this noble and holy calling I wish you all God-speed.” IfsLooksScienceSpiritWishInterestPleasurePracticePathProudHolyCallingPureAnd LoveRewardsPrivilegeSpeedNobleProfessionPursuitIntenseImmortalHonourPeculiarWorldlyWish YouTruth And Love Author:Joseph Lister

“I know a lot of Christians who have been in ministry and walked away from it because the pressure can be too great. And there's a lot of Christians who at the same time would say like well why does God do [certain things]. What I found is Christians regardless of whatever their experience is who trust God more and learn to go through those moments of challenge and persevere. Usually the end result is an experience and interaction with the Holy Spirit that's greater than it was previously. And for me, there is no pursuit that I desire or enjoy more than that interaction.” KnowsWellsDoeHas BeensEndsMomentsChristianSpiritDesireCertainFoundEnjoyChallengesResultsGreaterHolyPressurePursuitHoly SpiritTrust In GodInteractionMinistryPersevereEnd Results Author:Stephen Baldwin
“...There is no end to the making and selling of things there is no end to the making and selling of things there is no end... Man, it occurs to me, is a joyful, buying-and-selling piece of work. I have been wrong, dead wrong, when I've decried consumerism. Consumerism is what we are. It is, in a sense, a holy impulse. A human being is someone who joyfully goes in pursuit of things, brings them home, then immediately starts planning how to get more.” MenHumansHas BeensEndsHomeHuman BeingsPiecesHolyPursuitPlanningSellingImpulseBuyingJoyfulConsumerismBuying And Selling Author:George Saunders
