Inspirational Quotes by Warren Wiersbe
“People still ask questions and hope the answers will be what they think they already know. They need to pray this prayer by an anonymous believer: From the cowardice that shrinks from new truths, From the laziness that is content with half-truths, From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth, O God of truth, deliver us!”
“Perhaps the deepest Christian fellowship and joy we can experience in this life is at the throne of grace, praying with and for one another.”
“Paul did not begin by attacking the false teachers and their doctrines. He began by exalting Jesus Christ and showing His preeminence in five areas: the gospel message, redemption, creation, the church, and Paul’s own ministry.”
“God has ordained that His people live by promises and not by explanations.”
“Too many people attend church as consumers and not as stewards and worshipers. Church buildings have become shopping malls, not sanctuaries, and "doing church" means "doing business" and not worshiping God or encouraging others. "What's in it for me?" is the most important concern of the average churchgoer, not "How can I become more like Christ and share what I have with others?" If our praying is what it ought to be, we will be transformed from greedy consumers into generous stewards.”
“At times God permits His children to experience darkness on a dead-end street where they don’t know which way to turn. When this happens, wait for the Lord to give you light in His own time. Don’t try to manufacture your own light or to borrow light from others. Follow the wise counsel of Isaiah: “Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely upon his God” (Isa. 50:10 NKJV).”
“The people who refuse to submit to God’s authority will never really discover who they are and what God wants them to do. No matter how successful they may be in the eyes of the world, unless they change they will be failures in the eyes of God.”
“Don’t waste time and energy being an imitation. Let God make you into an original.”
“The modern world is also fascinated by innovation but scornful to tradition. Like the Athenians in Paul's day, many people do nothing but get involved in the latest fads (Acts 17:21). People stand in line to purchase the latest gimmicks, and no sooner do they learn how to use them than the manufacturers declare the models obsolete. Innovation! Progress!”
― Warren Wiersbe ,
“Big is beautiful" may be a clever slogan, but God still asks, "Who dares despise the day of small things?" (Zech.4:10)...A few loaves and fishes fed thousands. Little is much if God is in it.”
― Warren Wiersbe ,
“We’re prone to want God to change our circumstances, but he wants to change our character. We think that peace comes from the outside in, when in reality it comes from the inside out.”
“Hannah went to the place of worship with a broken heart, but the Lord gave her peace because she prayed and submitted to His will.”
“Stop pampering yourself. Stop whimpering. Stop asking God to give you toys; ask Him to give you tools and weapons, because there is a Church to build and a battle to fight. It is a marvelous thing to be adopted and to be rich in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“Not all the blood of beasts, On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. But Christ the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they. (Isaac Watts)”
“No matter how we or others may evaluate what we do, ministry that’s based on biblical principles will meet human needs and glorify God.”
“Lifted up was He to die, “It is finished” was His cry; Now in heav’n exalted high, Hallelujah, what a Savior! (Philip P. Bliss)”
“Principles are like rocks, and methods are like rivers; together they get the job done.”
“It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.”
“Leaders must learn to obey before they have the privilege of asking others to obey them.”
― Warren Wiersbe ,
“The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out.”
