“The Jackdaw sat in the Cardinal's chair! Bishop and Abbot and Prior were there, Many a monk and many a friar, Many a knight and many a squire, With a great many more of lesser degree,-- In sooth a goodly company; And they served the Lord Primate on bended knee. Never, I ween, Was a prouder seen, Read of in books or dreamt of in dreams, Than the Cardinal Lord Archbishop of Rheims.” BookDreamCompanyLordDegreesKneesSatGreat MenChairsMonkKnightsBishopsCardinalsPrimatesFriarsSquires Author:Richard Harris Barham
“Knapsack of the Metaphysicians.- Those who boast so mightily of the scientificality of their metaphysics should receive no answer; it is enough to pluck at the bundle which, with a certain degree of embarrassment, they keep concealed behind their back; if one succeeds in opening it, the products of that scientificality come to light, attended by their blushes: a dear little Lord God, a nice little immortality, perhaps a certain quantity of spiritualism, and in any event a whole tangled heap of 'wretched poor sinner' and Pharisee arrogance.” IfsShouldLittlesEnoughPhilosophyWholeLightCertainAnswersPoorBehindsLordNiceEventsProductsSucceedDegreesDearOpeningImmortalityArroganceSinnerQuantityMetaphysicsBoastWretchedEmbarrassmentConcealedTangledPluckBundlesSpiritualismLord GodPharisees Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Worship is to feel in the heart . . . it is an attitude and a state of mind. It is a sustained act, subject to varying degrees of intensity and perfection . . . Real worship is, among other things, a feeling about the Lord our God . . . It is in our hearts. And we must be willing to express it in an appropriate manner. If we love the Lord and are led by His Holy Spirit, our worship will always bring a delighted sense of admiring awe and a sincere humility on our part.” IfsFeelsMindHeartRealStatesFeelingsSpiritAttitudeLordSubjectsHumilityWillingHolyDegreesWorshipPerfectionHoly SpiritAweAppropriateSincereIntensityState Of MindDelightedAdmiringReal Worship Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.” ThinkingNeedsSoulSpacePerfectSecretConsciousnessLordAwarenessDivinePrayingDegreesDrawsBlessedAbsentAnswers To PrayerSecret Thoughts Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“Assurance grows by repeated conflict, by our repeated experimental proof of the Lord's power and goodness to save; when we have been brought very low and helped, sorely wounded and healed, cast down and raised again, have given up all hope, and been suddenly snatched from danger, and placed in safety; and when these things have been repeated to us and in us a thousand times over, we begin to learn to trust simply to the word and power of God, beyond and against appearances: and this trust, when habitual and strong, bears the name of assurance; for even assurance has degrees.” Has BeensNamesStrongGivenGrowsLordDangerBearsThousandConflictGoodnessDegreesLowsDown AndSafetyRaisedCastsAppearanceProofWoundedAssuranceGiven UpHealedHabitualPower Of God Book:The Voice of the Heart Source: The Voice of the Heart
“I believe in miracles, but I trust in Jesus. If you believe the Bible, you know that God is a miracle-working God. And God is not limited in any degree nor any respect. He is totally sovereign. Do you believe that? I hope you do. Believe in miracles, but don’t put your faith in miracles. Put your faith and your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.” IfsKnowsBelieveJesusI BelieveChristLordDegreesJesus ChristMiracleI Believe InSovereignIf You BelieveLord Jesus ChristBelieve In MiraclesTrust In The LordI Believe In Miracles Author:Adrian Rogers
