“Jesus once caused a sick man to arise on the Sabbath and take up his bed, whereupon the pious of the land raised a great outcry. But Jesus answered with superior contempt that the Sabbath was there for the sake of man, not man for the sake of the Sabbath; consequently, man was also master over the Sabbath.” MenJesusLandMastersBedSickRaisedSakeAriseSuperiorsContemptPiousSabbathSick Man Author:Alfred Rosenberg
“I said to myself if Christianity is dead, I will sit at its tomb and will weep until it arises again, just as Mary Magdalene sat at the tomb of Jesus and wept until Jesus showed Himself. Then when I came out of prison I saw Christianity is not dead. The number of practicing Christians in Rumania according to the figures given by the Communists themselves in 20 years of Communist dictatorship has grown 300 percent.” IfsYearsSaidChristianJesusGivenNumbersChristianitySawsFiguresPercentPrisonAriseSatCommunistMaryDictatorshipWeepingTombsMary Magdalene Author:Richard Wurmbrand
“You will live to see men arise in power in the Church who will seek to put down your friends and the friends of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many will be hoisted because of their money and worldly learning which they seem to be in possession of; and many who are the true followers of our Lord and Savior will be cast down because of their poverty.” MenSeemsJesusChristChurchLordPovertyJesus ChristCastsPossessionAriseFollowersSaviorWorldlyOur LordSavior Jesus Author:Joseph Smith, Jr.
“Realizing who we are and what we may become assures us that with God nothing really is impossible. From the time we learn that Jesus wants us for a Sunbeam until we learn more fully the basic principles of the gospel, we are taught to strive for perfection. It is not new to us then to talk of the importance of achievement. The difficulty arises when inflated expectations of the world alter our definition of greatness.” WorldWantMayJesusRealizingPrinciplesImpossibleGreatnessTaughtAchievementExpectationsPerfectionImportanceDifficultyStriveDefinitionsAriseWho We AreWant UBasic PrinciplesSunbeams Author:Howard W.

“Joy is the great note all through the Bible. We have the notion of joy that arises from good spirits or good health, but the miracle of joy of God has nothing to do with a man's life or his circumstances or the condition he is in. Jesus Christ does not come to a man and say, 'Cheer up.' He plants within a man the miracle of the joy of God's own nature.” MenDoeJoySpiritJesusChristConditionsCircumstancesJesus ChristMiraclePlantNotesNotionAriseCheerGood HealthCheer Up Book:The Quotable Oswald Chambers Source: The Quotable Oswald Chambers
