An atheist is one who has no invisible means of support.
A Christian is one who loves not the world, yet loves all the world. To be a Christian is not to possess a religion, but it is to have Christ in your heart. A Christian is one who is not ashamed of the gospel nor a shame to it. Christians are like window panes. When dirty, they attract attention to themselves. When clean, people see what is beyond-- God. A church is a hospital for sinners, not a club for saints. A committee is a group of people who individually can do nothing, but who, as a group, can meet and decide nothing can be done. Commitment is a relationship with the Lord Jesus that enables us in the midst of life's greatest comforts to be willing to die, and in the midst of life's greatest trials to be willing to live. Conceit is a queer disease. It makes everyone sick except the one who's got it. Conceit is what makes a little squirt thing that he is a fountain of knowledge. |
Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.
An Indian analyzed conscience saying, "I know what my conscience is. It is a little three cornered thing in here (pointing to his heart). It stands still when I am good, but when I am bad it turns around and the corners hurt me very much. But if I keep on doing wrong, the corners wear off and it doesn't hurt anymore." Conscious is that inner voice reminding us that someone is looking. Contentment does not depend on what we have; it does depend on our relationship with the Lord Jesus. Cooperation is doing with a smile what you have to do anyway. Courage is fear that has gone to God in prayer. Courtesy is the eye that overlooks a neighbor's broken gateway, but sees the roses blooming in his garden. Courtesy is like the air inside a tire; there may not be much of it, but it eases many a jolt. A credit card is the "sweet buy and buy." A critic is one who points out how imperfectly other people do what the critic does not do at all. |
