Quotes about Christ

Many persons make the mistake of thinking they can measure the certainty of salvation by their feelings. It is the Word of God that is their foundation and therefore it is essential for the new convert in Christ to have a practical knowledge of the Bible. More than anyone else it is the new convert who will come under the fire of the enemy.

The truth blazed like sunlight in the shadows of Barracks 28. The real sin I had been committing was not that of inching toward the center of a platoon because I was cold.

We become weirder parents when we fall more and more in love with Christ.

Having more of this world never fulfills. Only more of Christ does.

You are not a victim of your thoughts. You have the power through Christ to take them captive. As a result, you will find what you are looking for. You can believe the worst or think the best. You can find reasons to worry or reasons to have faith. You can live pessimistically, or you can possess life-changing faith.

You have the same power, faith, and courage available to you through Christ. Don't forget, just like David, you are a giant-slayer.

You will battle with discontent until you let Christ be all that you need.
