There is no way to work your way to God. There is no way to climb up to heaven. There is only one way, and that is through Christ.
I have now been an officer in this Church for a very long time. I am an old man who cannot deny the calendar. I have lived long enough and served in enough different capacities to have removed from my mind, if such were necessary, any doubt of the divinity of this, the work of God. We respect those of other churches. We desire their friendship and hope to render meaningful service with them. We know they all do good, but we unabashedly state—and this frequently brings criticism upon us—that this is the true and living Church of our Father in Heaven and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unless we ardently and prayerfully devote ourselves to Christ's righteousness we do not only faithlessly revolt from our Creator, but we also abjure him as our Savior.
The personal desolation Christ is experiencing on the cross is what you and I should be experiencing--but instead, Jesus is bearing it, and bearing it all alone. Why alone? He's alone so that we might never be alone.
A glance at Christ will save, but it is the gazing at Christ that sanctifies.
The vision of Christ that thou dost see is my vision's greatest enemy. Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read'st black where I read white. His seventy disciples sent against religion and government.
You are either becoming more like Christ every day or you are becoming less like Him. There is no neutral position in the Lord.
Give me the biblical Christ or give me nothing.
Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths; he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.
Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.
There's no greater model, in my view, than Jesus Christ.
Before one can walk as Christ walked, and talk as He talked, he must first begin to think as Christ thought.
Everything is the living God, the living Christ; see it as such.
Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.
Never did form more fairy thread the dance Than she who scours the hills to find it flowers; Never did sweeter lips chained ears entrance Than hers that move, true to its striking hours; No hands so white e'er decked the warrior's lance, As those which tend its lamp as darkness lours; And never since dear Christ expired for man, Had holy shrine so fair a sacristan.
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross; the cross is the context that explains suffering.
Everywhere. . . . . . everyone you meet. . . . is a potential brother or sister in CHRIST.
I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?
In the gospel of Jesus Christ, there is no place for ridicule, bullying, or bigotry.
Love to Christ is proved by doing the things which He commands, and not merely saying, Lord, Lord.
