All-Knowing God

February 3, 2023 by Christian Quote of the Day Leave a Comment

In all our duties, whether giving or praying, the great thing to be kept in mind is, that we have a heart-searching and all-knowing God. Everything like formality, being artificial, or mere bodily service, is abominable and worthless in God’s sight. He takes no account of the quantity of money we give, or the quantity of words we use. The one thing at which His all-seeing eye looks at is the nature of our motives, and the state of our hearts. Our Father sees in secret.

— J. C. Ryle (1816 – 1900)

All Things Work Together

December 13, 2022 by Christian Quote of the Day Leave a Comment

Just as the telescope and microscope show us that there is order and design in all the works of God’s hand, from the greatest planet down to the least insect, so does the Bible teach us that there is wisdom, order and design in all the events of our daily life. There is no such thing as “chance”, “luck”, or “accident” in the Christian journey through this world. All is arranged and appointed by God: and all things are “working together” for the believer’s good.

Known by Its Fruit

A tree may always be known by its fruit. Just so, a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes and affections.

Christianity

August 20, 2021 by Christian Quote of the Day Leave a Comment

There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough. It is a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice–which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.

The Bible

July 13, 2021 by Christian Quote of the Day Leave a Comment

Let us boldly place the Bible on the pedestal where our forefathers placed it, and maintain, like them, that, however imperfectly we may understand it, the old Book is perfect, and is an infallible rule of faith and practice!
