No woman wants to be in submission to a man who isn't in submission to God!T.d. Jakes

This love of which I speak is slow to lose patience - it looks for a way of being constructive. Love is not possessive. Love is not anxious to impress nor does it cherish inflated ideas of its own ideas. Love has good manners and does not pursue selfish advantage. Love is not touchy. Love does not keep account of evil or gloat over the wickedness of other people. On the contrary, it is glad with all good men when truth prevails. Love knows no limits to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that stands when all else has fallen.Elisabeth Elliot

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.John Bunyan
4
I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.Max Lucado

Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.Johann Sebastian Bach

God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for.... We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good.... His own solution is far better than any we could conceive.Fanny J. Crosby

Unless we have something worth dying for, Atretes, we've nothing worth living for.Francine Rivers

When we were almost to the other campus, I felt the weird nausea hit me. I called a warning to Christian, just as a Strigoi grabbed him. But Christian was fast. Flames wreathed the Strigoi's head. He screamed and released Christian, trying frantically to put the flames out. The Strigoi never saw me coming with the stake. The whole thing took under a minute. Christian and I exchanged looks. Yeah. We were badasses. .Richelle Mead

Imagination is the sacred intuition.Lailah Gifty Akita

The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.Rob Bell

Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?Corrie Ten Boom
15
What is sin? It is the glory of God not honored. The holiness of God not reverenced. The greatness of God not admired. The power of God not praised. The truth of God not sought. The wisdom of God not esteemed. The beauty of God not treasured. The goodness of God not savored. The faithfulness of God not trusted. The commandments of God not obeyed. The justice of God not respected. The wrath of God not feared. The grace of God not cherished. The presence of God not prized. The person of God not loved. That is sin. .John Piper
16
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.Anonymous
17
Not all dreamers are winners, but all winners are dreamers. Your dream is the key to your future. The Bible says that, "without a vision (dream), a people perish." You need a dream, if you're going to succeed in anything you do.Mark Gorman
18
The way of Jesus cannot be imposed or mapped – it requires an active participation in following Jesus as he leads us through sometimes strange and unfamiliar territory, in circumstances that become clear only in the hesitations and questionings, in the pauses and reflections where we engage in prayerful conversation with one another and with him.Eugene H. Peterson
19
It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.Billy Graham
20
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven; you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.Vance Havner

If the Almighty directs our steps, we've no need to look back over our shoulders.Liz Curtis Higgs

Every Christian would agree that a man's spiritual health is exactly proportional to his love for God.C.s. Lewis
24
God does not patch up the old life, or make certain repairs on the old life; He gives a new life, through the new birth.Kathryn Kuhlman
25
As fallible humans, we usually slip too far over one edge or the other - all wrath and judgment or all grace and love.Eric Wilson
26
If I marry: He must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. His shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. His lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. Love must be so deep that it takes its stand in Christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. He must be active enough to save souls. He must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. His arms must be strong enough to carry a little child. .Ruth Bell
27
I mean that the reason God seems to act in ways that make no sense to us is that our perceptions are wrong. Our expectations are subtly twisted. We long for things that harm us and run from the things that grow and heal us. We think good is bad and bad is good. God acts rightly, but to us, it seems confusing. Or sometimes plain wrong.Tessa Afshar
28
If you search for God you will find him and He will not give up on you".Michele Woolley
29
Men and women are needed whose prayers will give to the world the utmost power of God; who will make His promises to blossom with rich and full results. God is waiting to hear us and challenges us to bring Him to do this thing by our praying. He is asking us, to-day, as He did His ancient Israel, to prove Him now herewith." Behind God's Word is God Himself, and we read: "Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Ask of me of things to come and concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me." As though God places Himself in the hands and at the disposal of His people who pray - as indeed He does. The dominant element of all praying is faith, that is conspicuous, cardinal and emphatic. Without such faith it is impossible to please God, and equally impossible to pray.E.M. Bounds
30
Suffering can bend & break us. But it can also break us open to become the persons God intended us to be. It depends on what we do with the pain. If we offer it back to God, He will use it to do great things in us & through us, because suffering is fertile... it an grow new life.John Green

Newspapers are the Bibles of worldlings. How diligently they read them! Here they find their law and profits, their judges and chronicles, their epistles and revelations.Charles Haddon Spurgeon
34
Again, a conversation with the doctor. We always come back to the same point: "The church may not mix in politics." he says. And I tell him that when you are a Christian and profess that God is almighty, there is no single area of life from which you can eliminate God. -From the diary of Diet EmanDiet Eman

41
When ours are interrupted, his are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or wasted or unendurable).Elisabeth Elliot
42
In seasons of hiddenness our sense of value is disrupted, stripped of what "others" affirmed us to be. In this season God intends to give us an unshakable identity in Him, that no amount of adoration nor rejection can alter.Alicia Britt Chole
43
Elizabeth's barreness and advanced age--a double symbol of hopelessness--became the means by which God would announce to the world that nothing is impossible for Him.Charles R. Swindoll

For though, I walk through the valley of shadows of Death, I will never fear. For You are in Me and I know You will never let me Go.Jestoni Revealed

By the end of the war, I could pick out Jewish people almost as if I had a sixth sense about it, even if they had blue eyes and blond hair. I would have been a very valuable Gestapo person.Diet Eman
46
Yesterday the paper had a "short" summary of the places where Jews are not allowed! I can better mention where they are still aloud: "in their houses and in the streets! " God, punish those who are persecuting the people you chose and to whom Jesus also belonged. -From the diary of Diet EmanDiet Eman
47
Therefore, she hummed the provincial lullaby she had learned from the officers’ children in the English Quarter of Jerusalem, and watched in fascination while the savage radical’s eyes misted over with tears. For an instant, the prison bars melted away, and she felt God’s presence–for the first time since their imprisonment. She was not a captive, and this man was not her captor. Indeed, they were both merely God’s children. .V.S. Carnes
48
After the prayer they executed an armed robbery. That sounds very strange this many years later: prayer and then armed robbery.Diet Eman
49
Every day you and I walk through God's shop. Every day we brush up against objects of incalculable worth to Him. People. Every one of them carries a price tag, if only we could see it.John Ortberg
50
If we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards.John Ortberg
51
If I had my way, I would declare a moratorium on public preaching of 'the plan of salvation' in America for one to two years. Then I would call on everyone who has use of the airwaves and the pulpits to preach the holiness of God, the righteousness of God, and the Law of God until sinners would cry out, 'What must we do to be saved?" Then I would take them off in a corner and whisper the gospel to them. Don't use John 3:16. Such drastic action is needed because we have a gospel hardened generation of sinners by telling them how to be saved before they have any understanding why they need to be saved. .Paris Reidhead

Tragedy descends, and in the carnage our enraged cynicism screams ‘If there was a God, He would not have allowed this! ’ And somehow we’ve conveniently forgotten that once upon a time He allowed us to tell Him to go away, and once upon that time we allowed ourselves to take Him up on that offer.Craig D.

The Kingdom of God is a tricky concept, and I was always taught it referred to our heavenly reward for being good, which, now that I actually read the Bible for myself, makes very little sense. Others say that the Kingdom of God is another way of talking about the church, and still others say that it's the dream God has for the wholeness of the world, a dream being made true little by little among us right here, right now. My answer? All of the above.Nadia BolzWeber
