 We have made it an offense to admonish people about their sin, either privately or, when necessary, publicly. If only we were as loath to commit sin as we are to confront it! Topics: Apathy
Source: Holiness, The Heart God Purifies, Moody Publishers, p. 176 | | Again and again, God's Word reveals that He is not as concerned about the depth or extent of the sin we commit as He is about our attitude and response when we are confronted with our sin. Topics: Attitude
Source: Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, p. 67. | | An evidence that our will has been broken is that we begin to thank God for that which once seemed so bitter, knowing that His will is good and that, in His time and in His way, He is able to make the most bitter waters sweet. Topics: Bitterness
Source: A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 70. | | Though my natural instinct is to wish for a life free from pain, trouble, and adversity, I am learning to welcome anything that makes me conscious of my need for Him. If prayer is birthed out of desperation, then anything that makes me desperate for God is a blessing. Topics: Blessings
Source: A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 235. | | Brokenness is the shattering of my self-will - the absolute surrender of my will to the will of God. It is saying "Yes, Lord!" - no resistance, no chafing, no stubbornness - simply submitting myself to His direction and will in my life. Topics: Brokenness, Surrender
Source: Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, 2002, p. 53. | | Brokenness is the stripping of self-reliance and independence from God.

| | Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit" - contrary to what we would expect, brokenness is the pathway to blessing! There are no alternative routes; there are no short-cuts. The very thing we dread and are tempted to resist is actually the means to God's greatest blessings in our lives. Topics: Brokenness
Source: Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, 2002, p. 105. | | The Word, circumstances, and other believers - these can all be tools to show us our need and create opportunities to choose the pathway of brokenness. The Spirit of God is the arm that wields each of these instruments to bring us to a point of brokenness. However, we must respond to His initiative. Topics: Brokenness
Source: Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, 2002, p. 131. | | True brokenness is a lifestyle - a moment-by-moment lifestyle of agreeing with God about the true condition of my heart and life - not as everyone else thinks it is but as He knows it to be. Topics: Brokenness
Source: Brokenness, The Heart God Revives, Moody Publishers, 2002, p. 53. | | It's bad enough for me to make choices that hurt my own relationship with God. How much more serious is it to be the cause of someone else deciding to sin? Not only must I choose the pathway of holiness for God's sake and for my own sake; I must also do it for the sake of others. Topics: Choices
Source: Holiness, The Heart God Purifies, Moody Publishers, p. 63. | | We do need to guard against making absolutes out of personal standards that are not specified in Scripture, or assuming that others are sinning if they don't adopt our standards about issues that may not be traps for them. But why are we so prone to defend choices that take us right to the edge of sin, and so reluctant to make radical choices to protect our hearts and minds from sin? Topics: Choices
Source: Holiness, The Heart God Purifies, Moody Publishers, p. 113. | | The Christian life is not about all the things we do for God--it's about being loved by Him, loving Him in return, and walking in intimate union and communion with Him. Topics: Christianity
