| ccd25ed | When God's people are obeying God's will, everything in the universe works for them, even "the stars in their courses" (Judg. 5:20)." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| f222863 | Paul used six different arguments to prove that God saves sinners through faith in Christ and not by the works of the law. He began with the personal argument (Gal. 3:1-5), in which he asked the Galatians to recall their personal experience with Christ when they were saved. Then he moved into the scriptural argument | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| d330255 | Have you experienced so many things in vain?" The argument from Christian experience was a wise one with which to begin, because Paul had been with them when they had trusted Christ." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 59d8d41 | Believers should be filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18-21), which simply means "controlled by the Spirit." This is a continuous experience, like drinking water from a fresh stream (John 7:37-39)." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| c427073 | The authority of Jesus is the greatest of all. When we claim His promises, when we yield to His Holy Spirit, when we pray and when we obey, we share in that authority and accomplish His purposes on this earth. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| f933023 | In this world you will have trouble," He told His disciples. "But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). The world looks at Christians as inferior underlings, but Jesus sees us as unbeatable overcomers." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 11b68e8 | Life, like war, is a series of mistakes, and he is not the best Christian nor the best general who makes the fewest false steps. Poor mediocrity may secure that; but he is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes. Forget mistakes; organize victory out of mistakes.1 | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 1b54f84 | When circumstances become difficult and you are in the furnace of testing, remain where God has put you until He tells you to move. Faith moves in the direction of peace and hope, but unbelief moves in the direction of restlessness and fear. "He that believeth shall not make haste" (Isa. 28:16). In times of testing, the important question is not "How can I get out of this?" but "What can I get out of this?" (James 1:1-12). God is at work to.. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 082462a | No problem is too large, when Jesus is in charge. No gift is too small, if you give Him your all. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| a91e27d | When we lose our desire for God's Word, then we are vulnerable to the substitutes the world has to offer (Isa. 55:1-2). | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 343c1b9 | Atheism exists only in coldness, selfishness, and baseness. | Anne Louise Germaine de Staël | ||
| c25fa40 | If we focus more on the gifts than on the Giver, we are guilty of idolatry. If we accept His gifts, but complain about them, we are guilty of ingratitude. If we hoard His gifts and will not share them with others, we are guilty of indulgence. But if we yield to His will and use what He gives us for His glory, then we can enjoy life and be satisfied. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 3b70378 | Even if we can't respect the person in the office, we must respect the office (Rom. 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-17). "You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people" (Ex. 22:28 NKJV)." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 118059d | The way you look at your ministry helps to determine how you will fulfill it. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 69aa593 | God balances our lives by giving us enough blessings to keep us happy and enough burdens to keep us humble. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| bda0156 | The emphasis in the epistle to the Hebrews is "Don't live for what the world will promise you today! Live for what God has promised you in the future! Be a stranger and a pilgrim on this earth! Walk by faith, not by sight!" | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| fe1ebeb | If we delight in the Lord, and seek to please him in everything, then something is going to happen to our own desires. His desires become our desires. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 3914b27 | I hear Christians complaining about the moral and spiritual darkness in the world, but if there was more light--Christian light--there would be less darkness. Experts say that things are decaying in our society, and I believe it; but if we had more salt--Christian salt--we would have less decay. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 41b08f4 | A discouraged Methodist preacher wrote to the great Scottish preacher Alexander Whyte to ask his counsel. Should he leave the ministry? "Never think of giving up preaching!" Whyte wrote to him. "The angels around the throne envy you your great work!" | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| c4bb787 | The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment," wrote Alan Redpath, "the manufacture of a saint is the task of a lifetime." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| bc8c5b3 | A discouraged Methodist preacher wrote to the great Scottish preacher Alexander Whyte to ask his counsel. Should he leave the ministry? "Never think of giving up preaching!" Whyte wrote to him. "The angels around the throne envy you your great work!" That was the kind of reply Paul would have written, the kind of reply all of us need to ponder whenever we feel our work is in vain. It" | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| d1a3698 | the more we live in God's Word, the stronger our faith will become. | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| b63013a | The book of Psalms has been and still is the irreplaceable devotional guide, prayer book, and hymnal of the people of God. The Hebrew title is "the book of praises" (tehillim)." | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 9b25c5d | But in His grace, He has given us the privilege of prayer so that we might share in His great | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||

| 5cc8011 | Paul's epistle to the Romans is still transforming people's lives, | Warren W. Wiersbe | ||
| 834dcdb | It was a five-hundred-page novel called Satan: His Psychotherapy and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, J.S.P.S., by Jeremy Leven. I took it home and read it in a day. It wasn't high culture. It should have been funny, but it wasn't. However, it did make the throwaway assumption that the mind was simply the operation of the brain, an idea that struck me with force; it startled my naive understanding of the world. | Paul Kalanithi | ||
| 3dd78f2 | God did not hear the prayers of the fearful, for the hearts of the fearful held no belief. | Jeremy Leven | ||
| 119254a | Satan: His Psychotherapy and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, J.S.P.S., by Jeremy Leven. | Paul Kalanithi | ||

| 9d2e07b | Business never rests. | Andrew Marr | ||
| b765fb8 | It was considered insanely hard to poison a computer's BIOS remotely, but if I was going to rebuild a computer that had been fatally pwned, ignoring the BIOS would be like changing all your house locks after losing your keys but leaving all the windows unlocked. | Cory Doctorow | ||
