| 6bee629 | You are a schmuck," I informed the hero. "You're not using the word correctly," he said. "Yes I am," I said." | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 49d3eda | Brod was afraid any tears of her own would cause the walls of the old house to give way, so she sandbagged them behind her eyes, exiled them to someplace deeper, safer. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| dd2aada | GLI EBREI HANNO SEI SENSI Tatto, gusto, vista, odorato, udito... memoria. Mentre i gentili fanno esperienza del mondo mediante i sensi tradizionali e usano la memoria solo come strumento di second'ordine per interpretare i fatti, per gli ebrei la memoria non e meno primaria della puntura di uno spillo, o del suo argenteo luccichio, o del gusto del sangue che sprigiona il dito. L'ebreo e punto da uno spillo e ricorda altri spilli. E' solo ri.. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 6341abc | It was the part when you said that you do not know anybody, and how that encompasses even you. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 1fb902d | La casa dove tua bis-bis-bisnonna e io andammo a stare appena sposati dava sulle cascatelle [...] Aveva pavimenti di legno e finestre magnifiche e spazio sufficiente per una famiglia numerosa. Era una bella casa. Una buona casa. Ma l'acqua... diceva la tua bis-bis-bisnonna ... non riesco a sentirmi quando penso. Tempo, io la incalzavo. Datti tempo. E, lascia che te lo dica: anche se la casa era spaventosamente umida, e il prato davanti una .. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||

| 7ee7b8b | Busyness is an enemy of true Kingdom experience. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 89e44f4 | Please don't shut out love- it's the best thing about life | James Patterson | ||
| d0416f4 | The transformation of a person is the end product of the study of Scriptures. We live by every word that comes from His mouth. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 13cf1e0 | Many people criticize those who long to experience more in God, but I don't trust the ones who don't. We are not going to be kept free from deception by abandoning experience. In fact, the ones who do not hunger more for God are already deceived. | Bill Johnson | ||
| ff3cd34 | The measure we are aware of our need for Him is usually the measure we become aware of Him. It really is all about the Presence. It's about hosting Him. | Bill Johnson | ||
| bf915b8 | Seeing a Kingdom culture established on earth is the dream of God, and it must become the dream of His people. | Bill Johnson | ||
| b8ca1c6 | Rule with the heart of a servant, and serve with the heart of a king. This is how Jesus used His authority. | Bill Johnson | ||
| f55db1e | We have delegated authority to establish His Kingdom wherever the sole of our foot treads. But the fact is, while God calls us "kings," the degree to which we walk in that position is a matter of potential." | Bill Johnson | ||
| 4f4685b | Reaction to error almost always creates another error. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 4ef9887 | If you're going to look back on something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now. Things are almost never as bad as they first seem | James Patterson | ||
| c95c0d9 | that He is committed to meeting our needs, but not our wants. That concept comes in reaction to those who have taken the wonderful Gospel and made it a self-centered lifestyle, in which we use the name of God, along with His principles, to get what we want. While that is a tragic misuse of Scripture, so is the concept that God cares only for our needs. He is not the director of an orphanage, guaranteeing us three meals a day and a cot to sl.. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 192d4bf | Evil often thrives in the absence of an authentic righteous standard. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 6bb1192 | Faith is focused entirely on God and exists because of Him. Faith is active, and is completely dissatisfied with theories and ideals that cannot be proven, that do not bear fruit. It derives its life from the voice and nature of God. It is unto God, to bring Him pleasure and glory. Such a life is anything but a comfortable life of caution. It is bold, brave, courageous and risky. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 4720ea9 | Unfortunately, pulpit ministry has long been seen as the measure of true devotion to Christ, or worse yet, it has been seen as the measure of spiritual maturity. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 04d8109 | Instead, I hope to raise the value we place on the call of God, in whatever way that call manifests in someone's life. The dentist, the lawyer, the housewife, the mechanic and all the rest are called by God to do what they do to more fully express who He is in a functioning and healthy society. | Bill Johnson | ||
| c2cfdde | I realize that true success is not measured in the number of people who attend church on a Sunday, as good a thing as that may seem. Success in God's eyes is seen in the impact the message of the Kingdom has on how people think and live in my city, region and nation. | Bill Johnson | ||
| fe658d9 | Many fear signs and wonders because of the possibility of deception. So, in order to prevent any opportunity of being deceived, they replace displays of power with religious traditions, Christian activities, or even Bible study. They often become satisfied with knowledge. But, when this happens, who is deceived? | Bill Johnson | ||
| f34c78a | wheelchair in the mall and bringing healing. Learning how to find people at work where you invade their space and minister to them. You go to the poor parts of town and feed people. Giving words of knowledge and prophetic words to the waitress. We do all these sorts of things that are very strong and bold externally. We have to train in that element because the overt ministry helps to displace powers that have influenced our cities. Once yo.. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 24e1382 | are really divine opportunities to inject the presence of the kingdom. But there has to be a long-term invasion by the covert, a subtle invading of the system so we have the Daniels and Joshuas in their place. These people are making decisions and gaining the hearts of the kings. For example, the school system is a really difficult area or has been thought to be. Most closed heavens for the believer are between the ears. Because we have tho.. | Bill Johnson | ||
| e86b606 | Worship has become a primary part of life. It's wonderful when it's in the corporate gathering. But it's shallow when it's only corporate. My personal life must be one of continuous worship to experience the transformations that I long for. We always become like the one we worship. | Bill Johnson | ||
| 80e4ed4 | We cannot use the political spirit in one situation and think we can be free from it in another. The political spirit uses the fear of man and manipulation to get people to support a particular way of thinking. | Bill Johnson | ||
| bd26d68 | God doesn't have to try to do supernatural things. He is supernatural. He would have to try to not be. If He is invited to a situation, we should expect nothing but supernatural invasion. | Bill Johnson | ||

| fef49ec | wasn't Lily; it was Craig Simmons, the landscaper. Holding a sweat-stained baseball cap in his hand, the fortyish-something sandy-haired man stood on the front porch, still wearing his work boots, faded jeans and stained T-shirt. "Hello, Ms. Boatman, I just got back from lunch, noticed your car in the back drive and wondered if you had a chance to look through your house. I wanted to make sure everything is all right." "Yes, we went through.. | Bobbi Ann Johnson Holmes | ||
| fc5ad4d | Oftentimes religious circles are known for extreme control of the people, situations and environment around them. Control then becomes the issue of the hour. Studying the Scriptures without letting the Holy Spirit teach us puts us in control. He always takes us to Jesus. Going to the One the Scriptures point to puts Him in control. In other words, when the Bible is an end unto itself, it gives us a measure of learning, but no personal trans.. | Bill Johnson | ||

| 858b7df | Billy Graham is credited with saying, "Ninety-five percent of today's church activities would continue if the Holy Spirit were removed from us. In the early Church, ninety-five percent of all her activities would have stopped if the Holy Spirit were removed." I" | Bill Johnson | ||
| ec1e3bc | I'll never forget the Sunday that the Lord informed me that it wasn't my service, and I couldn't do as I pleased. (Planning is biblical. But our diligence and vision must never include usurping the authority of the Holy Spirit. The lordship of Jesus is seen in our willingness to follow the Holy Spirit's leading. He wants His Church back!) But | Bill Johnson | ||
| 6037d15 | In his diary Bill Hassett recorded the sight of the venerable little Englishman standing at the top, "at just a sufficient height to accentuate his high-water pants--typically English--Magna Charta, Tom Jones, Doctor Johnson, hawthorn, the Sussex Downs, and roast beef all rolled into one." | Nigel Hamilton |
