“These early Saints were indeed homeless, but they were not hopeless. Their hearts were broken, but their spirits were strong. They had learned a profound and important lesson. They had learned that hope, with its attendant blessings of peace and joy, does not depend upon circumstance. They had discovered that the true source of hope is faith—faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His infinite Atonement, the one sure foundation upon which to build our lives.” HeartDoeImportantJoySpiritJesusStrongChristLordOur LivesSourceBrokenDependsCircumstancesLessonsBlessingJesus ChristInfiniteFoundationProfoundSaintHopelessHomelessAtonementLord Jesus ChristImportant LessonsPeace And Joy Author:Wilford W.

“What is it to 'walk in the Spirit'? It is not self-occupation, nor even occupation with the Spirit. Walking according to the Spirit is occupation with the Lord Jesus Christ in glory. If the believer ever looks to the Lord Jesus, depends upon Him, draws all his needs from Him- if He is his All in all- then the believer walks according to the Spirit of Christ.” IfsNeedsLooksSelfChristianSpiritJesusChristWalksLordDependsWalkingGloryDrawsJesus ChristBelieverOccupationLord Jesus Christ Author:Arno C.

“On the ground of our own goodness we cannot expect to have our prayers answered. But Jesus is worthy, and for His sake we may have our prayers answered. There is nothing too choice, too costly, or too great for God to give Him. He is worthy. He is the spotless, holy Child, who under all circumstances acted according to the mind of God. And if we trust in Him, if we hide in Him, if we put Him forward and ourselves in the background, depend on Him and plead His name, we may expect to have our prayers answered.” IfsGivingMindMayChildrenChoicesJesusNamesPrayerDependsCircumstancesHolyGoodnessSakeWorthyBackgroundsOur PrayersAnswered Prayers Author:George Muller
“If we want to read and to pray the prayers of the Bible and especially the Psalms, therefore, we must not ask first what they have to do with us, but what they have to do with Jesus Christ...It does not depend, therefore, on whether the Psalms express adequately that which we feel at a given moment in our heart. If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray.” IfsWantFeelsFirstsHeartDoeImportantMomentsAsksJesusGivenChristPrayerDependsPrayingJesus ChristContraryWant UPsalms Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights and privileges as Americans.
