Inspirational Quotes by Donald S. Whitney
“Those who eat too much and those who intentionally eat too little are looking for satisfaction in something other than God.”
“God expects us to use the walkie-talkie of prayer because that is the means He has ordained not only for godliness, but also for the spiritual warfare between His kingdom and the kingdom of His Enemy. To abandon prayer is to fight the battle with our own resources at best, and to lose interest in the battle at worst.”
“Hay un elemento de la adoración y de la vida cristiana que nunca puede experimentarse en la adoración a solas ni observando la adoración de otros. Hay algunas gracias y bendiciones que nuestro Padre nos da únicamente cuando nos «congregamos» con otros creyentes como familia de Dios.”
“According to James 1:22-25, we can experience God’s truth so powerfully that what the Lord wants us to do becomes as plain to us as our face in the morning mirror. But if we do not apply the truth as we meet it, regardless of how wonderful the experience of discovering the truth has been, we deceive ourselves if we think we will be blessed for giving attention to the Bible on those occasions. The one who “will be blessed in his doing” is the one who does what Scripture says.”
“La adoración no se puede calcular ni producir.”
“La piedad requiere una adoración disciplinada.”
“When you speak the gospel, you share “the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Sharing the gospel is like walking around in a thunderstorm and handing out lightning rods. You don’t know when the lightning will strike or who it will strike, but you know what it will strike—the lightning rod of the gospel. And when it does, that person’s lightning rod will be charged with the power of God and he or she will believe.”
“How does the Word memorized become the Word applied? It happens through meditation.”
“La oración es, en un sentido, la expresión de una relación continua del cristiano con el Padre.”
“Joy does not come to you if you are spiritually passive; rather, joy is cultivated, but joy is cultivated by things you do.”
“The alternative to discipline is disaster. VANCE HAVNER”
“no es la mera lectura de la Biblia lo que nos convierte en «un hacedor eficaz» de ella, sino la meditación.”
“True spiritual self-discipline holds believers in bounds but never in bonds; its effect is to enlarge, expand and liberate. D. G. KEHL”
“How can we worship God without worshiping Him in vain? How can we instead “offer to God acceptable worship” (Hebrews 12:28)? We must learn an essential part of pursuing Christlikeness—the Spiritual Discipline of biblical worship.”
“why do we forget what we read in the Bible? Is it just a poor memory? No, it’s a failure to meditate.”
“How will you prove that you are a doer of the Word of God as it’s been presented to you here?”
“If a man write little, he had need have a great memory.”[12]”
“Cuando nuestra percepción de la grandeza de Dios y del evangelio es vaga, nuestras vidas de oración son insignificantes. Cuanto menos pensamos en la naturaleza y el carácter de Dios, y cuanto menos recordamos lo que Jesucristo hizo por nosotros en la cruz, menos queremos orar.”
“Just as an indescribable sunset or a breathtaking mountaintop vista evokes a spontaneous response, so we cannot encounter the worthiness of God without the response of worship.”
“Ours is an undisciplined age. The old disciplines are breaking down. . . . Above all, the discipline of divine grace is derided as legalism or is entirely unknown to a generation that is largely illiterate in the Scriptures. We need the rugged strength of Christian character that can come only from discipline. V. RAYMOND EDMAN”
