Ability

Our inability does not limit God’s ability.

The greatest ability we should have is dependability.

If you don’t use it you will lose it.

God does not only look for great ability but usability.

Actions

Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.

To return good for good is human, to return good for evil is divine.

People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.

The man who rows the boat generally does not have the time to rock it.

There are not many people who are good enough to keep up with their good intentions.

The sure way to gain respect is to gain it by your conduct.

Actions speak louder than words.

Scrapping will turn everything into scraps.

No one hates a job well done.

Advice

An ounce of example is worth a ton of advice.

Assessment

Ask not, What will man think of me? But, What does God think of me?
Lewis Sperry Chafer.

What is most precious in the sight of God is often least noticed by man.
Robert Chapman.

When God measures a man, He puts the tape around his heart not his head.

Assurance

Being in Christ it is possible to forget the past; it is possible to be sure of the future; it is possible to be diligent in the present.
Alexander Maclaren

God's assurance gives us endurance.

Atonement

Christ's blood makes us safe, God's Word make us sure.

Backsliding

If God seems far away, who moved?

Christians are like coals of fire, together they glow apart they die out.

Battles

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Defeat must be faced but it need not be final.

You will lose a lot of battles in the process of winning the war.

King Saul thought Goliath was too big to fight; David thought he was too big to miss.

Beauty

Nothing can dim the beauty that shine from within.

Bible

The Bible promises no loaves to the loafer.

The bread of life never becomes stale.

The Bible is from everlasting to everlasting.
The same Bible that says believe... also says behave.

The only reason why so many people are against the Bible, is because they know the Bible is against them. G.B.Bowes

The Bible is to be trusted not dusted.

Many people treat the Bible like a drunk treats a lamp post; for support, not for illumination.`

The Bible is not the book of the month it is the book of the ages.

This book will keep you from sin, but sin will keep you from this book.

A Bible that is falling apart is usually owned by some one who isn't.

Blessing

Prayer is the key, but faith turns the knob that opens the door to heaven's blessings.

Burdens

No one is strong enough to bear his burdens alone.

When God gives burdens, H also gives shoulders.

Praising God turns burdens into blessings.

Children

Children may close their ears to advice but they keep their eyes open to example.

Children will follow their parents in spite of what their parents say.

Children are so transparent, you can see--RIGHT--through them.

Children follow in the direction their parents lead, rather than in the direction their parents point.

In raising your children spend half as much money and twice as much time.

Children let their parents down when they forget who brought them up.

Train up a child in the way he should go and walk in that way yourself.

Choice

God gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him.

Christ

The power of God is vested only in Christ. God will only meet us in Him alone.

When you keep your eyes on Christ everything else comes into focus.

Jesus Christ can change the foulest sinner into the finest saint.

Unity among believers comes from union with Christ.

Christians

If your Christianity seems to be a real drag, it may be because you are dragging too many worldly weights.
Pecan Grove

Christianity is a movement, not a condition, a voyage, not a harbour.

Christians should be like tea bags; you can't see their real strength until they are in hot water.

There are two kinds of Christians, those who wait on the Lord and those who keep the Lord waiting.

If you are a Christian remember men judge your Lord by you.

If Christianity is not a movement then it is a monument.

A Christian is the world's Bible. In many cases a revised version is needed. D.L.Moody

A week filled up with selfishness and a Sunday full of religious exercises will make a good Pharisee but a poor Christian.

A Christian is a living sermon whether he speaks a word or not.

Christmas

God caught the magi with a star, the fishermen with a fish.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

Church and Church members

A church is running on empty if its members are not
spirit-filled.

The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.

Ch--Ch What is missing? UR

Mission is not a programme of the church it is the whole purpose for it

The world won't go to church, so the church must go to the world.

Caring church members are sharing church members.
Poor is the church that values programmes more than people.

The Church is a Hospital for sinners not a Museum for saints

The church had never such influence over the world as in those days when she had nothing to do with the world.

Some time ago, a distraught pastor said, "The greatest mission field today is the membership of the average church.

There is something fishy going on when churches are not fishing for men.

The greatest constitution a church can have is the Bible.

Some church members are like blotters; they soak it all up but get it the backwards. The Minister's Practical Kit Idea

Comfort

God will mend even a broken heart if we give Him all the pieces.

Sometimes the Lord calms the storm; and at other times he lets the storm rage and calms His child.

Committee

If Moses had been a committee, the children of Israel would still be in Egypt.

A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours.
Milton Berle

Compassion

Prejudice melts in the face of compassion.

Pity stands and stares compassion sees and serves.

Confession

Confession to God always brings cleansing from God.
