Today I am sending a collection of little one-liners that I have accumulated over the years — many of them from many of you. Perhaps you’ll find one or two of these really ring a bell. I hope you will let me know which one(s) really grabbed your attention. WBS, OK?
Someone once said …
Give God what’s right — not what’s left.
Man’s way leads to a hopeless end — God’s way leads to an endless hope.
A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
People generally don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care.
In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma–but never let him be the period.
Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a faith-lift.
When praying, don’t give God instructions – just report for duty.
Don’t wait for six strong men to take you to church.
We don’t change God’s message — His message changes us.
The church is prayer-conditioned.
What God ordains, He sustains.
WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.
Plan ahead — It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.
Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.
Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.
Exercise daily — walk with the Lord.
Never give the devil a ride — he will always want to drive.
Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.
Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.
He who angers you controls you.
Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.
Give Satan an inch & he’ll be a ruler.
God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
Read the Bible — It will scare the hell out of you.
BIBLE – Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
Don’t let your worries get the best of you, remember, Moses started out as a basket case!
Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited – until you try to sit in their pew.
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come pretty close.
When you get to your wit’s end, you’ll find God lives there.
People are funny. They want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.
Opportunity may knock once, but temptation leans on the bell.
Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn’t belong.
The phrase that is guaranteed to wake up the congregation: “And in conclusion…”
If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.
God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?
To make a long story short, don’t tell it.
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
Peace starts with a smile. Go out there and start something: Smile!
I don’t know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from?
A lot of church members who are singing “Standing on the Promises” are just sitting on the premises.
We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.
If you don’t want to go to church with all those hypocrites, doesn’t that mean a hypocrite is standing between you and God?
Outside of traffic, there is nothing that holds this country back as much as committees.
Be ye fishers of men. You catch them – He’ll clean them.
Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
Don’t put a question mark where God puts a period.
Don’t wait for six strong men to take you to church.
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God grades on the cross, not the curve.
God loves everyone, but probably prefers “fruits of the spirit” over “religious nuts.”
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
He who angers you, controls you!
If God is your copilot – swap seats!
The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.
The will of God will never take you to where the grace of God will not protect you.
We don’t change the message, the message changes us.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to… discourage him.
The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4given.
If you are going to pray for rain, bring an umbrella. If you are going pray for peace, bring your neighbor.
Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician.
I live in my own little world. But it’s OK … they know me here.
I don’t approve of political jokes… I’ve seen too many of them get elected.
The most precious thing we have is life….. Yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.
Life is our greatest treasure because it is given to us expressly for the purpose of losing it, and how well we do that is what makes all the difference.
I am a nobody, and nobody is perfect; therefore I am perfect. But first let me ask my wife.
Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I’ve stayed alive.
If carrots are so good for the eyes, how come I see so many dead rabbits on the highway?
How come we choose from just two people to run for president but 50 for Miss America?
If you can remain calm, then you just don’t have all the facts.
Snowmen fall from the heavens unassembled.
If you really knew as much as you think you know, you’d know it’s not enough.
Prayer: It works hard so you don’t have to.
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He listens.
Whenever you want to listen, He speaks.
Whatever He says can be completely trusted because He cannot lie.
He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose…your heart.
Face it friend, He is crazy about you!
God didn’t promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain, but
He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
What a good God we have!
God tests us. He uses one of those incredible essay questions:
“Do you love Me? Why or why not? How do you know?”
That’s THE BIG ONE worth 95 points out of a hundred possible points. But then he gives us lots of 25 point pop-quizzes with hundreds of bonus questions each worth up to 10 points each. Some are T/F, some multiple choice, and some fill-in-the-blanks. Yes, He does test us, mostly on the essay; but, Good God that He is, he wants us all to get an A+ so they’re all open Book tests.
Whatever, whenever, wherever, whoever, however, if ever, forever — at your service…
You know, it just occurred to me that we could ask each other the same incredible essay question:
“Do you love me? Why or why not? How do you know?”
And an even better form of the question would be
“Do I love you? Why or why not? How do you know?”
[Yes, how do you know – unless I ACT on that love for you!?]
Guess what, Beloved! I do love you.
Make it a wonderful day, Beloved! Jesus loves you, and so do I. HE JUST DOES IT BETTER!
