| f6f0e76 | Is your heart hungering and thirsting after personal holiness? | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| d821b7e | God doesn't give his counsel to the curious or the careless; he reveals his will to the concerned and the consecrated. Some believers take the attitude, "I'll ask God what he wants me to do, and if I like it, I'll do it." The result is predictable: God doesn't speak to them. Unless we have a serious desire both to know and to do the counsel of God, he will not reveal his will to us." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 979d046 | Salvation is not something that God begins and we finish. Salvation is the work of God from start to finish. "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Phil. 1:6). On the cross, Jesus cried, "It is finished!" He provides a complete salvation. He didn't "make the down payment" and expect us to keep up the installments!" | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 43dca5b | When we walk by sight, we calculate everything from the human perspective, and this always leads to discouragement; but when we walk by faith, God comes into the equation, and that changes the results. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| b89c19a | When you walk by faith, you will claim all that God has for you, but unbelief is always content to settle for something less than God's best. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 809cd4b | Justification is not simply "forgiveness," because a person could be forgiven and then go out and sin and become guilty. Once you have been "justified by faith" you can never be held guilty before God. Justification is also different from "pardon," because a pardoned criminal still has a record. When the sinner is justified by faith, his past sins are remembered against him no more, and God no longer puts his sins on record (see Ps. 32:1-2;.. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 337c26a | We cannot learn patience by reading a book or hearing a lecture. The only way we can learn patience is by going through the trials that God assigns to us. The trials of life are the tools God uses to mature us, to build our faith, and to get us to trust the Spirit and not the flesh. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 37ed681 | In times of difficulty, if we die to self and put God's will first (Matt. 6:33), we can be sure that He will either take us out of the trouble or bring us through. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 94d8ab7 | It has well been said that an opinion is something that you hold, but a conviction is something that holds you. Most of us have very few convictions, but the ones we do have are important to us. Convictions are the compasses of life - that keep us moving in the right direction. They are the foundation stones that help us to stand firm when everything around us is shaking and changing. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 60e47bf | Great names come and go, but the name of Jesus remains. The devil still hates it, the world still opposes it, but God still blesses it and we can still claim it! "In the name of Jesus" is the key that unlocks the door of prayer and the treasury of God's grace. It's the weapon that defeats the enemy and the motivation that compels our sacrifice and service. It's the name that causes our hearts to rejoice and our lips to sing his praise." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 93e1852 | You are writing a gospel, A chapter each day, By the deeds that you do And the words that you say. Men read what you write, Whether faithful or true: Just what is the gospel According to you? --SOURCE UNKNOWN | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 9ae03c9 | Divine sovereignty is not a substitute for human responsibility. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 26aa948 | The noted Bible commentator Matthew Henry wrote: "She was not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved." Paul wrote that "the woman is the glory of man" (1 Cor. 11:7 NIV), for if man is the head (1 Cor. 11:1-16; Eph. 5:22-33), then woman is the crown that honors the head." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| ab7b01b | Each believer is either a conformer or a transformer. We're either being squeezed into the world's mold or we're transforming things in the world into which God has put us. Transformers don't always have an easy life, but it's an exciting one, and it gives us great delight to know that God is using us to influence others. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 143e304 | Divine truth becomes dynamic life only when we yield to Jesus by faith and follow Him. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 0da2537 | When you feel like quitting or running away, remember that you can't run away from your troubles and you can't run away from yourself. The solution is not running away; it's running to. It's running to the throne of grace and finding grace to help in time of need. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| cb58578 | The Bible meets the needs of the human heart. No other book is like it. It is God's testimony. Its name is the law of the Lord. The sun is to creation what the law is to God's people, bringing light, warmth, life, and growth. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 49cd5e7 | When we commit our lives to the Lord, what happens to us happens by way of appointment and not by accident. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 4c0b7cc | An older generation, chastened by one depression, is afraid to be optimistic; and a younger generation, accustomed to security, is inexperienced at being pessimistic. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 11c1638 | We are not saved by faith plus good works, but by a faith that works. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| dd15090 | Every once in a while, Momma would make me go to Sunday school with Joey. Even though it was just a bunch of singing and coloring in coloring books and listening to Mrs. Davidson, I had learned one thing. I learned about getting saved. I learned how someone could come to you when you were feeling real, real bad and could take all of your problems away and make you feel better. I learned that the person who saved you, your personal saver, wa.. | Christopher Paul Curtis | ||
| fc5cb5c | Too late for that now," the Eldest Leprechaun said. "The damage is done. Give the thing a name, and it takes shape. They gave a name and a shape to the force that's always hated us. It's everything we're not. It's New Ireland, it's money for money's sake, brown paper envelopes stuffed full of bribes--the turn of mind that says that the old's only good for theme parks, and the new is all there needs to be. It's been getting stronger and stro.. | greed transformation | Andrew M. Greeley | |

| 3668f8b | In those hours where he'd planned for the [possible future] demise of his family's fortune, he'd settled quickly on the easiest job he could step into: Mechanical Turk. The Turks were an army of workers in gamespace. All you had to do was prove that you were a decent player - the game had the stats to know it - and sign up, and then log in whenever you wanted a shift. The game would ping you any time a player did something the game didn't k.. | Cory Doctorow | ||

| 69b9a8d | On the one hand, information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other. | Cory Doctorow | ||
| db828e0 | So it fell to Lil to make sure that there were no bugs in the meager attractions of Liberty Square: the Hall of the Presidents, the Liberty Belle riverboat, and the glorious Haunted Mansion, arguably the coolest attraction to come from the fevered minds of the old-time Disney Imagineers. | Cory Doctorow | ||
| 8444fdd | From there, it was time for dinner: roaring fires, meat popping on spits, tofu sizzling on skillets ((it's northern California, a vegetarian option is not optional), and a style of eating and drinking that can only be described as quaffing. | Cory Doctorow | ||
| eaf1dcd | We're not making a world without greed, Jacob. We're making a world where greed is a perversion. Where grabbing everything for yourself instead of sharing is like smearing yourself with shit: gross. Wrong. Our winning doesn't mean you don't get to be greedy. It means people will be ashamed for you, will pity you and want to distance themselves from you. You can be as greedy as you want, but no one will admire you for it. | social | Cory Doctorow | |
| be3a42d | Whenever we turn on our computer, we are plunged into an "ecosystem of interruption technologies," as the blogger and science fiction writer Cory Doctorow terms it.23" | Nicholas Carr | ||

| 090584d | There are things we do automatically, our body, acting on its own, avoids inconvenience whenever possible, that is why we sleep on the eve of battle or execution, and why ultimately we die when we can no longer bear the harsh light of existence. | existence life sleep | José Saramago | |
