Quotations You Can Use (November 16, 2012)

“The goodness of God is the drive behind all the blessings He daily bestows upon us. God created us because He felt good in His heart and He redeemed us for the same reason”–A.W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy, 87.

“Our friend is a woman, a Christian, and a medical doctor. Over dinner the other night, she told my wife and me of a conversation she had with another friend who was stridently pro-choice, which of course is a euphemism for pro-abortion. He was insisting that the only way to go for anyone supporting “women’s rights” is to be pro-choice. The doctor said, “Nothing is more anti-woman than aborting a female fetus”–told by Joe Mckeever at www.joemckeever.com.

“. . . I hope you will be convinced as I am that healthy local churches can be, and should be, both deep and wide. It’s not either/or. It’s both/and. Local churches should be characterized by deep roots and wide reaches. Churches should be theologically sound and culturally relevant. We should be bold in our proclamation and winsome in our approach. In the Gospels we find in Jesus the embodiment of both. As his body, we should be as well”–Andy Stanley, Deep & Wide: Creating Churches Unchurched People Love to Attend, 18.

“Twice in the gospel record you find Jesus marveling. [Both had to do with faith]. He marveled at the unbelief of the Jews, and He marveled at the great faith of a Roman centurion, a Gentile (Luke 7:9)”–Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Diligent: Serving Others as You Walk with the Master Servant, 75.

“Set aside time for prayer and reading God’s Word. Power with God is not a fast food experience”–Waylon Bailey.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ”–Paul, 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3.

  1. AMEN! Thanks.
    “There is no Victory in isolation, no Church, no Salvation, no Redemption. Only the metronome ticking the ‘count down’ to an eternity of regret.” Ed Matthew
    Ephesians 5:14, Romans 12: 1-6, etc.
    Blessings

  2. I wrote a sermon after reading Wiersbe’s statement some time ago called ‘Amazing Jesus’ and ask the question- How are you amazing Jesus?
