Source: Christian: Take Heart! 1987, p. 150. | | The Bible plainly teaches that God works in His people to keep them from habitually walking apart from Him.

Topics: Christianity, The Cross
Source: New Covenant Theology, page 75-76 | | There is a direct line that runs from our doctrine to our actions, from what is in our minds to what is in our words and ways...

Source: Christian: Take Heart! 1987, p. 106. | | Our songs are not the cause of our loss of the sense of God's greatness, though songs are surprisingly influential. No, our songs reflect this loss. Singing God-centered hymns is desirable, but more than that is needed. We sing what we feel, what we believe. When once we rediscover the greatness of God, we will sing it. Our song will echo our conviction. Topics: Music
Source: Christian: Take Heart! 1987, p. 105. | | You must not think that the Lord must work harder to use people in little known places. You must not say, "Well, yes, I guess God could figure out a way to use even me where I am." "Aim at My glory," the Lord says, "and I am using you. Aim to please Me, and you are My minister, right where you are, in whatever you are doing!" Topics: Obedience
Source: Christian: Take Heart! 1987, p. 122. | | He has told us to pray, 'Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven' (Matthew 6:10).

Source: Christian: Take Heart! 1987, p. 90. | | God is not at a loss when He moves to bring us back to Himself. He can woo or whip. He can draw or drive. He can work rapidly or slowly, as He pleases. In other words, He is free to be God! And in His own way, at His own pace, He brings us back. Topics: Restoration
