Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.

– Francis of AssisiRate it:

Appreciation gives rise to motivation/multiplication. Let's take this as a case study. When Jesus Christ was faced with the task of feeding a multitude. The scripture says that he (Jesus Christ) first and foremost gave thanks to God. And just because he gave thanks to God. God was motivated to multiply the five loaves of bread/two fishes which he already had. Now that's why he (Jesus Christ) miraclously fed/overfed at a time 5,000 men excluding women and children, scripture reference (Mattew 14 and verse 17 through 21). Anyway, that evidently proves, appreciation truly gives rise to motivation which eventually leads to multiplication. Have you been unappreciative to God/your fellow humans all these while? If YES then, you've got to learn to appreciate your fellow humans. But most importantly, do appreciate God all the time/way even in time of scarcity/insufficiency of resources like money/food stuffs. Because if you dare to appreciate him (God) at all times. Then, he will be motivated to multiply whatever you have until you are wholly gratified/satisfied.

– Emeasoba GeorgeRate it:

As a sinner I could not please God, I could not neutralize or pay for my own sin. But when God justified me by His grace He went on record declaring me righteous. He didn't wave a magic wand and declare me to be innocent. His holiness would not permit it. A basis for declaring me righteous was needed. The ground upon which my justification is built is the substitutionary death of His son, Jesus Christ. The shedding of blood demonstrates the righteousness of God 'that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus' (Rom. 326 NKJV). What a marvelous plan Man's plan of salvation by good works is offensive to God and to anyone who has been saved by God's grace.

– Larry RiemersmaRate it:

As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the hungry and clothing for the poor. Any temporal possession can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ is immediately touched with immortality. (A.W. Tozer)

– A.W. TozerRate it:

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.

– Martin LutherRate it:

Burning the witch Giordano Bruno is one more wound inflicted on Christ’s body.

– Dejan StojanovicRate it:

Christ did not ask or want to be what he was not.

– Dejan StojanovicRate it:

Christ has global funeral, every Sunday and since twenty centuries. (Jésus a des funérailles mondiales, - Tous les dimanches, et depuis vingt siècles.)

– Charles de LEUSSERate it:

Christ's boundless grace confronts our deep necessities. Christ's promised presence confronts our sad and gloomy loneliness. Jesus thus filled with grace so overflowing, with love so tender, with sympathy so exquisite, with power so illimitable, with resources so boundless, with a nature so changeless, stands before us and says to each trembling heart, 'Fear not!'”

– Octavius Winslow (1808-1878)Rate it:

God, I dont have great faith, but I can be faithful. My belief in you may be seasonal, but my faithfulness will not. I will follow in the way of Christ. I will act as though my life and the lives of others matter. I will love. I have no greater gift to offer than my life. Take it.

– Real Live PreacherRate it:

Grace is not against good works It simply does not bless on the basis of good works. We receive blessing from God based solely on the merits of His Son--blessings freely given to us in Christ and nowhere else. The completeness that is in Christ mean deliverance from trying to 'be good' and 'do right' in order to be accepted by God.

– Richard JordanRate it:

How many observe Christ's birthday How few, his precepts O 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.

– Benjamin FranklinRate it:

I can do all things through Christ Jesus which strengthens me

– Leon YoungbloodRate it:

I want to start by thanking my Lord and my Savior Jesus Christ, because without him none of this would have ever been possible, for he is my strength that carries me and it is his mercies that follow me every day. And it is his love that endures all things.

– Kim DavisRate it:

In recent decades, greater appreciation of our being sisters and brothers in Christ because of our baptism has grown. This has changed the psychological and social climate of our living and praying. We are not enemies but family: a fractured family, but still family.

– Francis Cardinal George, OMIRate it:

In this life, Christ is an example, showing us how to live in his death, he is a sacrifice, satisfying for our sins in his resurrection, a conqueror in his ascentions, a kind in his intercession, a high priest.

– Martin LutherRate it:

Joseph lost his son and Christ. (Joseph a perdu - Son fils et Jésus.)

– Charles de LEUSSERate it:

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, as you teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

– Bible, Colossians 3:16Rate it:

Men are doubtful and skeptical about the Church they suspect and dislike the clergy they are impatient of theological systems but for Jesus Christ, as he stand out to view in the sacred pages, as they dimly realize him in their own best selves, as they catch faint traces of him in the lives of his saints, they have no other sentiments than those of respect and affection.

– Herbert Hensley HensonRate it:

Now the church is not wood and stone, but the company of people who believe in Christ.

– Martin LutherRate it:

Once resuscitated, Christ first appeared to women for the news to spread faster!

– FabriceRate it:

Our civilization cannot survive materially unless it is redeemed spiritually. It can be saved only by becoming permeated with the Spirit of Christ, and being made free and happy by practices which spring out of that spirit. Only thus can discontent be driven out and all shadows lifted from the road ahead.

– Woodrow WilsonRate it:

Sanctification is conformity to the image and the example of Christ. The more the believer is growing like Jesus, the more he is growing in holiness.

– Octavius Winslow (1808-1878)Rate it:

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

– Clive Staples LewisRate it:
