What Really Matters

“If we displease God, does it matter whom we please? If we please Him does it matter whom we displease?”–Leonard Ravenhill.

“So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body”–2 Corinthians 5:9-10.

“The disciples . . . were convinced of the resurrection because Jesus appeared to them in person. He invited them to touch the nail prints in His hands. He cooked breakfast for them and ate with them. He talked with them about the future of the church. He appeared to 500 of them at the same time and ascended into heaven before their very eyes. That’s why every single disciple was willing to die for the truth that Jesus had literally conquered the grave. The evidence for the resurrection both in the Biblical record and the historical accounts of the disciples’ martyrdom is so overwhelming that those who honestly examine the record usually conclude it happened just as recorded in Scripture. Easter is not a religious myth that’s been embellished over time, it’s an actual event that is the hinge of history”–Bob Russell.

“A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands, nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God”–Ravi Zacharias.

“If we have reverent fear and awe of God, we will fear nothing else”–John Kincaid.

“Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell”–Matthew 10:28.

  1. Thx for quoting Ravenhill. Along with dear Vance Havner he was a modern day “Minor Prophet” constantly exhorting the churches to be revived. “The reason we don’t see revival in our day is we are content to live without it.”
