Ultimately, evangelism is not a technique. It is the Lord of the
Church who reserves to Himself His sovereign right to add to His
Church.

Easter Quotations for Inspiration
Easter tells us that life is to be interpreted
not simply in terms of things but in terms of ideals.
~Charles M. Crowe
Earth's saddest day and gladdest
day were just three days apart!
~Susan Coolidge
Easter is the demonstration of God that
life is essentially spiritual and timeless
~Charles M. Crowe Let the resurrection joy lift us from
loneliness and weakness and despair to
strength and beauty and happiness
Floyd W. Tomkins
The joyful news that He is risen does not change
the contemporary world. Still before us lie work,
discipline, sacrifice. But the fact of Easter gives
us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the
discipline, and make the sacrifice.
Henry Knox Sherrill
And he departed from our sight that we might
return to our heart, and there find Him. For
He departed, and behold, He is here
St. Augustine
He takes men out of time and makes them feel eternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

• Sun 10 Feb 2008 - Quote of the Day......Jean Pierre de Caussade
We must offer ourselves to God like a clean, smooth canvas and
not worry ourselves about what God may choose to paint on it,
but at each moment, feel only the stroke of His brush.

• Fri 18 Jan 2008 - Todays Quote...Max Lucado
If you knew that only a few would care that you came, would you
still come? If you knew that those you loved would laugh in your
face, would you still care? If you knew that the tongues you
made would mock you, the mouths you made would spit at you, the
hands you made would crucify you, would you still make them?
Christ did.

There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every person and it

• Sat 5 Jan 2008 - Quote of the Day...Norman Vincent Peale
You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind.
Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing.
Get interested in something!
Get absolutely enthralled in something!
Get out of yourself!
Be somebody!
Do something.
The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself,
the more energy you will have.
Norman Vincent Peale |

• Sun 23 Dec 2007 - Well said......
"It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour." ~Charles Dickens
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time was with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world like a magic ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home enjoyments, affections, and hopes; grouped everything and everyone round the Christmas fire, and make the little picture shining in our bright young eyes, complete. ~ Charles Dickens
Light your fire
And never fear,
Life was made
For love and cheer.
Were I a philosopher, I should write a philosophy of toys,
showing that nothing else in life need to be taken seriously,
and that Christmas Day in the company of children
is one of the few occasions on which men become entirely alive. ~ Robert Lynd

• Wed 5 Dec 2007 - Purity...David Edwards
Why is purity such a struggle? Why is it so difficult to order
our lives in a way that allows Christ to shine through us? ...
We destroy purity by equating it with legalism and forgetting
that it is first and foremost a work of the heart. Reducing it
to a set of rules trivializes the purpose of purity and creates
a veneer of purity without the genuine, underlying character.

• Tue 4 Dec 2007 - Quote of the Day.....David Edwards
The ministry of the Spirit of God strengthens us, too, for the
task that He knows lies ahead of us. We cannot survive or
complete this task using our own abilities. Like Peter and the
apostles, we need God's empowerment. We may not know what lies
ahead, but we do know that God is preparing us for the future He
has prepared for us.
-- David Edwards

Classic Quotes by Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) English author

-------------------------
"A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride."

"A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading."

• Thu 29 Nov 2007 - A Child's Christmas Eve Dream
|
A Child's Christmas Eve Dream
Last night I had a lovely dream,
But strange as it could be,
For on the hill beside our house
Stood a great Christmas tree.
It glowed with lighted candles,
High at the top, a star,
And 'round it, dancing in a ring,
Children from lands afar.
There were polite, little English girls,
Swiss boys with funny skis,
Dutch children in queer wooden shoes,
Joined hands with shy Chinese.
Turkish lads is tassled fez,
Tots from France and Greece and Poland,
Laughing as the children do
In the safety of a free land.
Perhaps my dream's a prophecy
Of Christmases to be,
When little children everywhere
Can sing because they're free.
I surely wish with all my heart,
This day of Jesus' birth,
That peace and love and happiness
Soon cover all the earth.

• Thu 29 Nov 2007 - Charles Dickens on Christmas
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. ~Charles Dickens |
