A Big Jesus

He is a big Jesus! If I could measure Him I would be very small. But I cannot measure Him, and I know He is very large. I am glad I cannot measure Jesus but I am glad I can touch Him all the same.

-- Smith Wigglesworth, 1922

Nothing Else is Worthwhile

God is a real essence of joy to us in a time when it seems barrenness, when it seems nothing can help us but the light from heaven, far above the brightness of the sun. Then that touches you, then that changes you, and you realize nothing is worthwhile but that.

-- Smith Wigglesworth, 1922

Only God

Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer move God.
-- E.M. Bounds

The One Condition of Successful Praying

We constantly need to be reminded that faith is the one inseparable condition of successful praying. There are other considerations entering into the exercise, but faith is the final, indispensable condition of true praying.
-- E.M. Bounds

Drive Yourself to Prayer

Force yourself into the prayer life. Regardless of how you feel, drive yourself to prayer.
You will be amazed how halting and stumbling will be your first attempts.
You have been rated, perhaps, as an unusual Christian worker in the Church.
Men look upon you as an outstanding Christian, but if they knew that in behind your public profession there was an empty closet, or an unused prayer room, they would be amazed.
If you live with the Lord in secret, you will be able to pray with great freedom in public.
-- E.W. Kenyon, In His Presence

Passionate Love for God???

To just read the Bible, attend church, and avoid "big" sins -- is this passionate, wholehearted love for God?
-- Francois Fenelon

If you read history . . .

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
-- C.S. Lewis
