God may thunder His commands from Mount Sinai and men may fear, yet remain at heart exactly as they were before. But let a man once see his God down in the arena as a Man-suffering, tempted, sweating, and agonized, finally dying a criminal’s death-and he is a hard man indeed who is untouched.
John Bertram Phillips (Author, 1906 – 1982)
If laser beams can cut through mountains, why should we doubt the power of prayer?
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
The regeneration of a sinner is an evidence of power in the highest sphere–moral nature; with the highest prerogative–to change nature; and operating to the highest result–not to create originally, which is great; but to create anew, which is greater.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
A religion without the Holy Ghost, though it had all the ordinances and all the doctrines of the New Testament, would certainly not be Christianity.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
We are most like beasts when we kill. We are most like men when we judge. We are most like God when we forgive.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
Gratitude is the the energy of faith.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
Giving is more than a responsibility-it is a privilege; more than an act of obedience-it is evidence of our faith.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
Forgiveness from others is charity; from God, grace; from oneself, wisdom.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
Empathy feels these thoughts; your hurt is in my heart, your loss is in my prayers, your sorrow is in my soul, and your tears are in my eyes.
William Arthur Ward (Author, 1921 – 1994)
