Christian Quotes About Life Biography
source(google.com.pk)Let no one grieve at his poverty,
for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free.
He has destroyed it by enduring it.
John Chrysostom, bishop of Constantinople; sermon, ca. 400
I rise today
with the power of God to pilot me,
God's strength to sustain me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look ahead for me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to protect me,
God's way before me,
God's shield to defend me,
God's host to deliver me,
from snares of devils,
from evil temptations,
from nature's failings,
from all who wish to harm me,
far or near,
alone and in a crowd.
"Saint Patrick's Breastplate,"
Old Irish, eighth-century prayer.
"And in His will is our peace."
Dante, Paradiso, Canto III, line 85.
"Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you remember Christ crucified and be silent."
John of the Cross
"To know the Word of God, to live the Word of God, to preach the Word, to teach the Word, is the sum of all wisdom, the heart of all Christian service."
Charles E. Fuller
"There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow."
Martin Luther
"Therefore let us repent and pass from ignorance to knowledge, from foolishness to wisdom, from licentiousness to self-control, from injustice to righteousness, from godlessness to God."
Clement of Alexandria
"The waters are rising, but so am I. I am not going under, but over."
Catherine Booth, co-founder of the Salvation Army
"The life of a Christian is wondrously ruled in this world, by the consideration and meditation of the life of another world."
Richard Sibbes
"To believe one does not need counsel is great pride."
Basil the Great
"The Christian gospel is a two-way road. On the one hand, it seeks to change the souls of men, and thereby unite them with God; on the other hand, it seeks to change the environmental conditions of men so the soul will have a chance after it is changed."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still."
Billy Sunday (1862-1935)
"Let there be something of benevolence, in all that I speak."
Jonathan Edwards
The Son of God did not want to be seen and found in heaven. Therefore he descended from heaven into this humility and came to us in our flesh, laid himself into the womb of his mother and into the manger and went on to the cross. This was the ladder that he placed on earth so that we might ascend to God on it. This is the way you must take.
Martin Luther
The man who is contented to be only himself, and therefore less a self, is in prison. My own eyes are not enough for me, I will see through those of others. Reality, even seen through the eyes of many, is not enough. I will see what others have invented …. in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.
C. S. Lewis
"For those who feel it, nothing makes the soul so religious and pure as the endeavor to create something perfect; for God is perfection, and whoever strives after it, is striving after something divine. True painting is only the image of the perfection of God, a shadow of the pencil with which he paints, a melody, a striving after harmony."
Michelangelo
"In former times, God, who is without form or body, could never be depicted. But now when God is seen in the flesh conversing with men, I make an image of the God whom I see. I do not worship matter; I worship the Creator of matter who became matter for my sake."
John of Damascus
" … the world is a work of art, set before all for contemplation, so that through it the wisdom of Him who created it should be known …"
Basil, from Exegetical Works, On the Hexameron
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."
John Donne
"We do not wish to abolish teaching and to make every man his own master, but if the curates will not teach the gospel, the layman must have the Scripture, and read it for himself, taking God for his teacher."
William Tyndale
"When God gets ready to shake America, He may not take the Ph.D. and the D.D. God may choose a country boy … God may choose the man that no one knows, a little nobody, to shake America for Jesus Christ in this day, and I pray that He would!"
Billy Graham, 1949
"The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me."
Martin Luther
"To remain neutral in a situation where the laws of the land virtually criticized God for having created men of color was the sort of thing I could not, as a Christian, tolerate."
Albert Lutuli
Listen to the call coming across the ocean
Chinese are the children of God
China, China, come and find peace
God has found you
You will never have to wander in the wilderness
China belongs to God
Lu Xiaomin, Chinese Christian songwriter (from www.chinasoul.com)
"But the proconsul urged him and said, 'Swear, and I will release thee; curse the Christ.' And Polycarp said, 'Eighty and six years have I served him, and he hath done me no wrong; how then can I blaspheme my king who saved me?'"
The Martyrdom of Polycarp
"There's no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God."
Brother Lawrence (1614-1691)
"Praised be You, my Lord, with all your creatures,
especially Sir Brother Sun,
Who is the day and through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor;
and bears a likeness of You, Most High One."
Francis of Assisi, "The Canticle of Brother Sun"
"I am content to fill a little space if God be glorified."
Susanna Wesley, mother of John and Charles Wesley
"If God has given graces to some good women, revealing to them something holy and good through His Holy Scriptures, should they, for the sake of the defamers of the truth, refrain from writing down, speaking, or declaring it to each other? Ah! It would be too impudent to hide the talent which God has given us, we who ought to have the grace to persevere to the end. Amen!"
Marie Dentière, former abbess and wife of a Protestant minister (1495-1561)
"Had I had a beard I would have been the king of France."
Renée of Ferrara (1510-1574)
"Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God."
John Calvin
"Faith is the 'yes' of the heart, a conviction on which one stakes one's life."
Martin Luther
"Our true and genuine wisdom can be summed up as the knowledge of God and the knowledge of ourselves."
John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion
"Evangelism without social work is deficient; social work without evangelism is impotent."
John R. Mott (1865-1955)
"Should we not press it home upon our consciences that the sole object of our conversion was not the salvation of our own souls, but that we might become co-workers with our Lord and Master in the conversion of the world?"
Lottie Moon, Baptist missionary to China (1840-1912)
"China is not to be won for Christ by quiet, ease- loving men and women … . The stamp of men and women we need is such as will put Jesus, China, souls, first and foremost in everything and at every time—even life itself must be secondary."
Hudson Taylor, missionary to China (1832-1905)
"The motto for every missionary, whether preacher, printer, or schoolmaster, ought to be 'Devoted for Life.'"
Adoniram Judson (1788-1850)
"I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything."
William Carey (1761-1834), Missionary to India
"Conversion does not mean a change of outward appearance; rather it requires a change of mind and results in a transformed life."
Bartholomaeus Ziegenbalg (1683-1719), Missionary to India
"By everything true, everything holy, you are your brother's keeper."
Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury (1801-1885)
