If JESUS cannot control you, HE cannot save you. And if HE cannot control ALL of you HE cannot control any of you.

When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.

If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.

Most Christians are satisfied living as common Christians, without an insatiable hunger for the deeper things of God.

If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.

We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.

Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending upon her concept of God.
