Inspirational Quotes by Donald S. Whitney
“Godliness requires disciplined worship.”
“Solo porque una secta adopte la cruz como símbolo no quiere decir que la iglesia tenga que dejar de usarla. De la misma manera, no debemos descartar ni tenerle miedo a la meditación bíblica simplemente porque el mundo practica algo que denomina meditación.”
“Without a clear biblical purpose, fasting becomes an end in itself.”
“Prayer involves communication in the spiritual realm. Many prayers are answered in ways that cannot be seen in the material realm. Many prayers are answered in ways different from what we asked. For a variety of reasons, after we open our eyes we do not always see tangible evidence of our prayers. When we are not vigilant, this tempts us to doubt the power of God through prayer.”
“So “come, let us worship” (Psalm 95:6) the one, true God who has ordained the Spiritual Discipline of worshiping Him—in public, in the family, and in private—as one of the most bountiful means of receiving the grace to grow in Christlikeness. For as we grow in the worship of God, we grow in the likeness of Christ.”
“Where God leads you to pray, He means you to receive.”
“The job of a football coach is to make men do what they don’t want to do in order to achieve what they’ve always wanted to be.”[5]”
“Cualquiera que mida su progreso en ser como Cristo solamente en términos del crecimiento de su comunión con Dios está haciendo una medición incompleta. La madurez espiritual también incluye el crecimiento en la fraternidad con los hijos de Dios.”
“He lost himself in visions of work to be done, that always remained to be done.”
“To be like Jesus, we must see the use of our time as a Spiritual Discipline. Having”
“Sixth, the Spiritual Disciplines are means, not ends. The end—that is, the purpose of practicing the Disciplines—is godliness.”
“The people of God do not serve Him in order to be forgiven but because we are forgiven. When”
“algunos que fracasan en practicar las Disciplinas las descuidan simplemente porque no las desean, y no las desean porque no tienen hambre de Dios. No conocen a Dios, por lo que los medios divinos para experimentar y disfrutar a Dios personalmente no les son atractivos.”
“In the Bible we find examples of fasts that lasted one day or part of a day (see Judges 20:26; 1 Samuel 7:6; 2 Samuel 1:12; 3:35; Nehemiah 9:1; Jeremiah 36:6), a one-night fast (see Daniel 6:18-24), three-day fasts (see Esther 4:16; Acts 9:9), seven-day fasts (see 1 Samuel 31:13; 2 Samuel 12:16-23), a fourteen-day fast (see Acts 27:33-34), a twenty-one-day fast (see Daniel 10:3-13), forty-day fasts (see Deuteronomy 9:9; 1 Kings 19:8; Matthew 4:2), and fasts of unspecified lengths (see Matthew 9:14; Luke 2:37; Acts 13:2; 14:23).”
“the first thing the child of God has to do morning by morning is to obtain food for his inner man.”
“If after your death a biographer or your children were to scan your canceled checks for insight into what kind of Christian you were, what conclusion would they come to? What would they reveal about your walk with Christ? Would those checks be tangible evidence of your spiritual trustworthiness?”
“The contemporary sluggard won’t go to places he should go (such as church), saying, “It’s too dangerous out there on the highways!” Or he might say, “If I discipline my time for the purpose of godliness, I might miss important things on TV or the Internet, or become so busy I won’t get enough rest!” And he plops down on the couch or rolls back over in bed.”
“The Bible sets no percentage goal in giving. Giving 10 percent of your gross income does not necessarily mean you have fulfilled the will of God. Ten”
“meditation must follow hearing and precede prayer.”
“Anyone who measures progress in Christlikeness only in terms of growth in his or her fellowship with God takes an incomplete measurement. Spiritual maturity also includes growth in fellowship with the children of God. The apostle John juxtaposed these two in 1 John 1:3: “That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.” New Testament fellowship is with both the triune God and with His people. Just as the human maturity of Jesus included growth in favor with both God and man (see Luke 2:52), so will the spiritual maturity of those who seek to be like Jesus.”
