Great/inspirational quotes

"Sin no longer is a bar to the presence of God; if you are always talking about your sin, give it up; believe what God says. The Adversary wants you occupied with your sin instead of with Christ."

F.W. Davis (1879-1926)

Very true. It's when we let go of the burden of sin that we are free to embrace Jesus.
 
"God’s love was the cause, and not the effect of the work of Christ."

Arthur P Adams (1847-1920)
 
The truth is not decided democratically.

"The whole of the world will never be won by man’s agency and modern missionary societies."

– William Tucker Broad (1860-1923)
 
Facts are facts whether you believe them or not.
 
The mere possession of good does not give a knowledge or realization of it. Adam had perfect health, but what was that to one who never had even heard of disease? He had abundant food, but that was nothing to him, who had never felt a famine. Even pleasure had no appeal to one who had known no pain.

The fatal lack in all the perfection of Eden was the utter absence of any note of praise or thankfulness to God Who had given it. Knowing no good, and utterly unacquainted with mercy or grace, Adam’s heart was utterly incapable of love or adoration or worship.

A.E. Knoch (1874-1965)

Maybe that explains why I'm the oldest yet all my sisters have more gray hair? I've got about twice the children any of them do. Country living and a good man makes for a great life!
 
"God could no more choose to create persons without accepting that responsibility than human parents can choose to raise children without acquiring an obligation to promote their welfare."

Thomas Talbott
The Inescapable Love of God
 
"Pharisees saw rules where Jesus saw the need for mercy."

Mart DeHaan
 
The word religion occurs but four times in the entire Bible. We trace it back to the Latin religio, meaning to bind or obligate. It conveys the sense of duty. Its realm is the outward: religious ceremony, service, conduct. In the Bible it is chiefly synonymous with Judaism, degraded to a religion in Christ’s day. It was religion that put Christ on the cross. The world’s religions all fail in this: they have no divine person capable of imparting life. The word religion seemingly never escaped the lips of Jesus. He did not come to found a religion but to bring life. Religion is man striving after God. Jesus brought God to man, and man to God.

Norman B. Harrison (1874-1960)
New Testament Living: The Inwardness of the Christian Life
 
“[God] does not foresee the humans making their free contributions in a future, but sees them doing so in His unbounded Now. And obviously to watch a man doing something is not to make him do it.”

Screwtape, Senior Tempter (from C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, 1942)
 
If you are going through hell, keep going.

“Nothing can work me damage except myself. The harm that I sustain I carry about with me, and am never a real sufferer but by my own fault.”

St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 1128
