I know I'm dating myself, but most of you know my age anyway. Years ago, in LIFE magazine, there was a picture of a young man who was protesting the Viet Nam war. He had a sign around his neck as he'd stop speaking. The sign read: "After all is said and done, more is said than done."

Afflictions are light when compared with what we really deserve. They are light when compared with the sufferings of the Lord Jesus. But perhaps their real lightness is best seen by comparing them with the weight of glory which is awaiting us. Arthur W. Pink

A few from my collection: "Creation of woman from the rib of man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. -Martin L. King Jr. Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it. -Confucius

"Resolved, never to do anything which I would be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life." Jonathan Edwards "'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world." William Booth "We cannot but admit that not even the least thing takes place unless it is ordered by God. For who have ever been so concerned and curious as to find out how much hair he has on his head? There is no one. God, however, knows the number. Indeed, nothing is too small in us or in any other creature, not to be ordered by the all-knowing and all-powerful providence of God." Huldryrch Zwingli "I do not want merely to possess a faith, I want a faith that possesses me." Charles Kinsley "The only way to learn strong faith is to endure great trials." George Muller Faith cannot be inherited or gained by being baptized into a Church. Faith is a matter between the individual and God." Martin Luther

"How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven." George Macdonald

"God has given us two ears, but one tongue, to show that we should be swift to hear, but slow to speak. God has set a double fence before the tongue, the teeth and the lips, to teach us to be wary that we offend not with our tongue." Thomas Watson

"Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected things, above all that we ask or think. Each time, before you Intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!" - Andrew Murray

9/5/2008 5:51:01 PM by Ignited~Faith, Member of Delve into Jesus since 2/20/2008

The requirement for salvation is not just a prayer. The requirement is an open, totally empty heart thats ready to be full of Jesus Christ. After saying the sinners prayer, if in a few months your friends cant tell that youre born again, if your relatives cant see a change in you, if your teacher cant see that youre a Christian, youre probably not! Because let me tell you something, when someones born again they get excited! It changes the way they live, what they do, how they speak, how they act, what they do with their money, their cars, their girlfriends-Its all different! Then how come it looks the same? How come Christians are trying to ride the line? - Keith Green

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime Therefore, we are saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiul or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history, Therefore, we are saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone, Therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own, Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness. -Reinhold Niebuhr

XFrogger, that is a powerful quote. Thank you for sharing it.

2/3/2009 7:55:20 PM by mrspiggy, Member of Delve into Jesus since 1/18/2008

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Angels watch me through the night and guide me to the morning light. I say this every night with my 2 year old. Then we bless everyone in our family. Last night he added 'God Bless Woody, God Bless Buzz' (His new dolls from the movie Toy Story). It makes me think of what is near and dear to us that we bless what brings us joy, parents, grandparents, children, siblings and even my son's toys in his innocense. It is with innocent eyes we trust in the Lord to protect us. I say it more now and I add more to the angels who watch over us - from heaven and heavenly sent prayers from our community. The night is when we feel the darkness creep in, with the help of our angels everywhere, there is always a time to begin a new day with God and a fresh start on His path.

And that is what we are!" Ephesians 2:4-5 "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved." Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands."

Some quotes from Martin Luther on the subject of prayer: "Pray, and let God worry" "The fewer the words, the better the prayer." "Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart." "I've got so much work to do today, I'd better spend two hours in prayer instead of one."

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. Anais Nin

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is because we do not dare that they are difficult. Seneca Actually, we have no problems - we have opportunities for which we should give thanks An error we refuse to correct has many lives. It takes courage to face one's own shortcomings, and wisdom to do something about them. Edgar Cayce The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. M. Scott Peck

"The Christian is joyful, not because he is blind to injustice and suffering, but because he is convinced that these, in the light of the divine sovereignty, are never ultimate. The humor of the Christian is not a way of denying the tears, but rather a way of affirming something which is deeper than tears." Elton Trueblood, The Humor of Christ
