To the extent that we want power we are in the flesh, and the Holy Spirit has no part in us. Christ put a towel around himself and washed his disciple’s feet. We should ask ourselves from time to time, “Whose feet am I washing?” – Francis A. Schaeffer (1912-1984), No Little People, Downer Grove,…
Bible Exposition and the New Testament Church
Sound Bible exposition is an imperative must in the Church of the Living God. Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be carried on in such way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever. For it is…
Martin Luther
Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven! Thus, let us drink beer! God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does. Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason-I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for…
D.L. Moody on his Death
Some day you will read in the papers that D. L. Moody, of East Northfield, is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I shall have gone up higher, that is all; out of this old clay tenement into a house…
Ever Day as Our Last
There remains for us only the very narrow way, often extremely difficult to find, of living every day as though it were our last, and yet living in faith and responsibility as though there were to be a great future. … Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), “After Ten Years”, in A Testament to Freedom: the…
Mr. Rogers on Forgiveness
“Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life’s important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our…
Mr. Rogers on Appreciation
“I believe that appreciation is a holy thing, that when we look for what’s best in the person we happen to be with at the moment, we’re doing what God does; so in appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something truly sacred.” —Commencement Address at Middlebury College May, 2001 [print_link]
Counterfeits
A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of reaching their goals. We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep…
Ravi Zacharias Quotes
“We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right. “Truth by definition excludes.” “When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.” “I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so…
Life’s Problems and Knowing God
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life’s problems fall into place of their own accord. … James I. Packer (b. 1926), Knowing God, London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1973, p. 34
