You must make your choice: either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
While studying at Barcelona, Ignatius was in doubt whether, after completing his studies, he should enter some Religious Order, or go from place to place, according to his custom. He decided to enter upon the religious life.
I have tried at every point to seek God's wisdom on the decisions I made, and I made it my business to speak up on behalf of the things God tells us are important to Him.
God will never reject you. Whether you accept Him is your decision.
When I had to make a decision whether or not an activity was appropriate for the Sabbath, I simply asked myself, 'What sign do I want to give to God?' That question made my choices about the Sabbath day crystal clear.
My parents had us in church every Sunday, every Wednesday. It was more of a tradition at that point; I didn't have a personal relationship with the Lord until I went to the altar call one Sunday, and the youth pastor told us to make a decision for ourselves.
If you have an important decision to make, or even a small one, it is good to make your decision with the guidance of the Lord.
God brought me to Himself at about the age of 4. My parents were devout believers and my Dad was in Bible College at the time. I remember hearing the gospel in Sunday School and I talked to my Mom about it one night before bed. It was clear to me that I was a sinner and I was not going to heaven if I died without accepting Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for me. I was brought to Christ out of fear of going to hell. I didn't want to go there if I died and there was only one other choice in my mind as a 4 year old. I wanted to go to heaven. It was and is that simple.
He who becomes a Muslim does so in his own interest.
Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.
...every time you make a decision to be less than what God wants for you, you're denying yourself some of God's blessings. It's up to you. You can live a life with God's blessings, or just exist with all the consequences of choosing wrong.
Dying man couldn't make up his mind which place to go to-both have their advantages, heaven for the climate, hell for the company!
As we enter this election year, let’s not forget the most important decision anyone can make-choosing Christ.
My choosing Islam was not a political statement; it was a spiritual statement.
The world and you must part, or Christ and you will never meet.
I could never describe it to anyone how I knew, but there was no mistaking it. One moment, I was walking along undecided - and the next moment, I knew that it was God's will for me to go to America. I don't think I could describe it any more accurately.
Since my money is God's money, every spending decision I make is a spiritual decision.
Every man who loses everlasting life rejects it himself. God denies it not to him-he will not come that he may have life.
I think that I would have made a fine president. But it really came down for me to a very personal, a very intimate and a spiritual decision. I don't rule anything out for the long-term future.
