Food for Thought

More quotes:

“The nature and attributes of Jesus Christ are altogether lovely.” (Pastor Jack Hibbs)

“To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be from Him.” A.W. Tozer

“Apart from the Scriptures we have no sure philosophy, apart from Jesus Christ, we have no knowledge of God; apart from the in-living Spirit we have no ability to live lives morally pleasing to God.” A.W. Tozer

“God exists for Himself and man for the glory of God.” A.W. Tozer

“Everything we do should centre around the Person of our holy, holy Lord and extol continually the greatness of His dignity and power. There is a glorified Man on the right hand of the Majesty in heaven faithfully representing us there. We are left for a season among men; let us faithfully represent Him here.” A.W. Tozer

“Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor; Jesus can understand you.” J.C. Ryle

“Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.” J.C. Ryle

I reckon these ought to give us all lots to ponder on and apply. Don't you? 

I found them rather challenging, humbling and encouraging.
