Inspirational Quotes

“Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.”  –A. W. Tozer

“A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.”  –Charles Spurgeon

“The evangelization of the world depends first upon a revival of prayer.  Deeper than the need for workers; deeper far than the need for money; deep down at the bottom of our spiritual lives is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing, worldwide prayer.”  Robert Speer

“The key is to understand that our children don’t belong to us—they belong to God. Our goal as parents must not be limited by our own vision. I am a finite, sinful, selfish man. Why would I want to plan out my children’s future when I can entrust them to the infinite, omnipotent, immutable, sovereign Lord of the universe? I don’t want to tell God what to do with my children—I want Him to tell me!”  –Voddie Baucham

“Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

“Every civil government is based upon some religion or philosophy of life. Education in a nation will propagate the religion of that nation. In America, the foundational religion was Christianity.

Our continued freedom and success is dependent on our educating the youth of America in the principles of Christianity.”  -Noah Webster

“My Lord, How Full of Sweet Content” by Madame Guyon

“My Lord, how full of sweet content;
I pass my years of banishment!
Where’er I dwell, I dwell with Thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.

To me remains nor place nor time;
My country is in every clime;
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.

While place we seek, or place we shun
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with a God to guide our way,
‘Tis equal joy, to go or stay.

Could I be cast where Thou are not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot:
But regions none remote I call,
Secure of finding God in all.”

“People tell me judge not lest ye be judged. I always tell them, twist not scripture lest ye be like satan.”  –Paul Washer

“Do you love the thought that you exist to make God look glorious?  Do you love the thought that all creation exists to display the glory of God?  Do you love the truth that all of history is designed by God to one day be a completed canvas that displays in the best way possible the greatness and beauty of God?…Do you love the truth that you personally exist to make God look like what He really is – glorious?  I ask again:  Do you love the fact that your salvation is meant to put the glory of God’s grace on display?  Do you love seeing and showing the glory of God?  This is why God created the universe.  This is why He ordained history.  This is why He sent His Son.  This is why you exist.  Forever to see and savor and show the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.  The question at the end of Romans 1-11 is; Do you embrace this calling as your treasure and your joy?”  -John Piper
