Spiritual Thoughts

"One encounter with Jesus Christ is enough to change you, instantly, forever."
— Luis Palau

"Once you make up your mind never to stand waiting and hesitating when your conscience tells you what you ought to do, and you have got the key to every blessing that a sinner can reasonably hope for." - John Keble

"Many a professing Christian is a stumbling-block because his worship is divided. On Sunday he worships God; on week days God has little or no place in his thoughts." - D.L. Moody

"The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss."
— Thomas a Kempis

"The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him." - Blaise Pascal

"I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services." - A. W. Tozer

"Theologically, we have been discovering anew that the Church is not an appendage to the Gospel: it is itself a part of the Gospel. The Gospel cannot be separated from that new people of God in which its nature is to be made manifest." - Stephen Neill

"For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step." - Thomas à Kempis

"Since God offers to manage our affairs for us, let us once and for all hand them over to His infinite wisdom, in order to occupy ourselves only with Himself and what belongs to Him." - J. P. de Caussade

"The spiritual life is a stern choice. It is not a consoling retreat from the difficulties of existence, but an invitation to enter fully into that difficult existence, and there apply the Charity of God, and bear the cost."
— Evelyn Underhill

"It is an abuse to confess any kind of sin, mortal or venial, without a will to be delivered from it, since confession was instituted for no other end." - François de Sales
