did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I
suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would
be written.”

“To
keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great
revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to
torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he
said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect
in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my
weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's
sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in
difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

can heal me. I believe He will. I believe I'm going to be an old surely Baptist
preacher. And even if He doesn't...that's the thing: I've read Philippians 1. I
know what Paul says. I'm here let's work, if I go home? That's better. I
understand that.”

“The
mind that becomes soiled in youth can never again be washed clean. I know this
by my own experience, & to this day I cherish an unappeased bitterness
against the unfaithful guardians of my young life, who not only permitted but
compelled me to read an unexpurgated Bible through before I was 15 years old.
None can do that and ever draw a clean sweet breath again on this side of the
grave.”

“Will
God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes--all
the time! It must be that way, for God's glory and kingdom. If we function
according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to
the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal
Himself to a watching world.”

Henry Blackaby, Experiencing the Spirit: The Power of Pentecost Every Day
“Is
not the gospel its own sign and wonder? Is not this a miracle of miracles, that
'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish'? Surely that precious word, 'Whosoever
will, let him come and take the water of life freely' and that solemn promise,
'Him that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast out,' are better than signs
and wonders! A truthful Saviour ought to be believed. He is truth itself. Why
will you ask proof of the veracity of One who cannot lie?”

“The
soul, in its loneliness, hopes only for "salvation." And yet what is
the burden of the Bible if not a sense of the mutuality of influence, rising
out of an essential unity, among soul and body and community and world? These
are all the works of God, and it is therefore the work of virtue to make or
restore harmony among them. The world is certainly thought of as a place of
spiritual trial, but it is also the confluence of soul and body, word and
flesh, where thoughts must become deeds, where goodness must be enacted. This
is the great meeting place, the narrow passage where spirit and flesh, word and
world, pass into each other. The Bible's aim, as I read it, is not the freeing
of the spirit from the world. It is the handbook of their interaction. It says
that they cannot be divided; that their mutuality, their unity, is inescapable;
that they are not reconciled in division, but in harmony. What else can be
meant by the resurrection of the body? The body should be "filled with
light," perfected in understanding. And so everywhere there is the sense
of consequence, fear and desire, grief and joy. What is desirable is repeatedly
defined in the tensions of the sense of consequence.”
