I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.<\/p>\n
The Bible, Psalm 84:10<\/i><\/p>\n
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.<\/p>\n
The Bible, 2 Corinthians 13:14<\/i><\/p>\n
Come near to God and he will come near to you.<\/p>\n
The Bible, James 4:8<\/i><\/p>\n
We do not walk to God with the feet of our body, nor would wings, if we had them, carry us to Him, but we go to Him, by the affections of our soul.<\/p>\n
Augustine of Hippo<\/i><\/p>\n
The Holy Spirit makes a man a Christian, and if he is a Christian through the work of the Holy Spirit, that same Spirit draws him to other Christians in the church. An individual Christian is no Christian at all.<\/p>\n
R. Brokhoff<\/i><\/p>\n
Having ingrafted us into his body, Christ makes us partakers, not only of all his benefits, but also himself. Christ is not received merely in the understanding and imagination. For the promises offer him, not so that we end up with the mere sight and knowledge of him, but that we enjoy true fellowship with him.<\/p>\n
John Calvin<\/i><\/p>\n
Oh! for a closer walk with God,<\/p>\n
A calm and heav\u2019nly frame;<\/p>\n
A light to shine upon the road<\/p>\n
That leads me to the Lamb!<\/p>\n
Where is the blessedness I knew<\/p>\n
When first I saw the Lord?<\/p>\n
Where is the soul-refreshing view<\/p>\n
Of Jesus, and his word?<\/p>\n
What peaceful hours I once enjoy\u2019d<\/p>\n
How sweet their mem\u2019ry still!<\/p>\n
But they have left an aching void,<\/p>\n
The world can never fill.<\/p>\n
Return, O holy Dove, return,<\/p>\n
Sweet messenger of rest;<\/p>\n
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,<\/p>\n
And drove thee from my breast.<\/p>\n
The dearest idol I have known,<\/p>\n
Whate\u2019er that idol be;<\/p>\n
Help me to tear it from thy throne,<\/p>\n
And worship only thee.<\/p>\n
So shall my walk be close with God,<\/p>\n
Calm and serene my frame;<\/p>\n
So purer light shall mark the road<\/p>\n
That leads me to the Lamb<\/p>\n
William Cowper<\/i><\/p>\n
The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Edwards<\/i><\/p>\n
The steady discipline of intimate friendship with Jesus results in men becoming like Him.<\/p>\n
H.E. Fosdick<\/i><\/p>\n
Take God for your bridegroom and friend, and walk with him continually; and you will not sin and will learn to love, and the things you must do will work out prosperously for you.<\/p>\n
John of the Cross<\/i><\/p>\n
The relationship between God and a man is more private and intimate than any possible relation between two fellow creatures.<\/p>\n
C.S. Lewis<\/i><\/p>\n
All the doors that lead inward, to the sacred place of the Most High, are doors outward \u2013 out of self, out of smallness, out of wrong.<\/p>\n
George Macdonald<\/i><\/p>\n
Some people become tired at the end of ten minutes or half an hour of prayer. What will they do when they have to spend Eternity in the presence of God? We must begin the habit here and become used to being with God.<\/p>\n
Sadhu Sundar Singh<\/i><\/p>\n
Knowledge of God can be fully given to man only in a Person, never in a doctrine. Faith is not the holding of correct doctrine, but personal fellowship with the living God.<\/p>\n
William Temple<\/i><\/p>\n
To desire nothing outwardly brings peace to a man\u2019s soul, so a man, by an inward forsaking of himself, joins himself to God.<\/p>\n
Thomas \u00e0 Kempis<\/i><\/p>\n
God desires and is pleased to communicate with us through the avenues of our minds, our wills, and our emotions. The continuous and unembarrassed interchange of love and thought between God and the souls of the redeemed men and women is the throbbing heart of the New Testament.<\/p>\n
