Inspirational Quotes by Paul Chappell
“And perhaps the most refreshing trait of a growing Christian is a humility that acknowledges the need to grow. Paul expressed this spirit in Philippians 3:12–14: “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
“Are you allowing God’s priceless Word to be replaced or undermined by other influences in your life—internet philosophy, apathy, distraction, neglect? When you have a serious question about life, do you think “Google” before you think “Bible?” Seeking and understanding God’s truth should be our first thought in all of life’s questions.”
“When we lose our perspective on the lost world around us, we lose the very purpose for ministry—the purpose for the local church.”
“soulwinners with hearts of compassion for the lost? One benefit of praying for this need is that it reminds us to personally labor in the harvest fields. It’s difficult to pray very long for dedicated soulwinners without being compelled to win souls ourselves. Another benefit is that praying on the behalf of a lost world stirs your own heart for their need. It reignites your passion and rekindles your motivation”
“One of the great costs of the present-day hedonistic lifestyle is the sacrificing of the next generation. Much like the children of Israel in the Old Testament defiled themselves with idolatry and sacrificed their children upon the pagan altar of Molech, today’s adults are sacrificing the next generation on the altars of hedonism, fornication, and lasciviousness.”
“How easy it is to be motivated by earthly success—by money, status, career advancement, and personal pleasure. How easy it is, amidst our busyness and insatiable thirst for more, to forget that the eyes of Manasseh are upon us. The next generation is watching us—examining our faith, testing our lives, and determining whether or not our God is true.”
“Moody often said, “Prayer and work are the two hands of one person, and they should never be separated.” Prayer is vitally important, but it is no substitute for doing what we are able to do.”
“By the answer Christ gave, He pointed out that we do not so much need our faith increased, as we need it renewed. The problem we face is not primarily that our faith is too small, but that we do not use it enough. The”
“The best—and the only lasting—sources of renewal for God’s people are the presence of God and the Word of God.”
“The Scottish pastor Thomas Brooks said, “The power of religion and godliness lives, thrives, or dies, as closet [private] prayer lives, thrives, or dies. Godliness never rises to a higher pitch than when men keep closest to their closets.” Prayer—prevailing,”
“A wise steward of time learns to redeem his or her moments from the Bank of Today and invest them into the Bank of Eternity. Eternity knows nothing about the fleeting nature of time, and anything deposited there will be forever preserved.”
“In Psalm 27:8, David said, “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.” The face represents the character of a person. If God’s man is to ever preach God’s Word effectively, then he must not only know the Word of God insightfully, but he must know the God of that Word intimately.”
“We realized our only hope was in God’s intervention on our behalf, and we fervently prayed He would protect us.”
“A.W. Tozer wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
“It is impossible for a heart that is truly grateful for God’s grace not to be filled with joy. 90-DAY”
“A failure of gratitude and praise will certainly lead to a failure of obedience. 90-DAY”
“Recently, Mr. Barack Obama became the first sitting president to advocate same-sex marriage. Politicians will do many things to please their “base,” but godly Christians seek to please God. We must not forget that the Creator who has given rights has also given laws.”
“I believe Nehemiah’s purpose statement can be found in Nehemiah 2:10: “…to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.” This man was motivated by the need for revival—and that motivation moved him to action in serving and leading. Nehemiah’s primary concern was the people’s spiritual welfare, followed by their physical welfare. He didn’t journey to Jerusalem to pass out food stamps or birth control; he desired for his nation to return to God and restore their relationship with Him. Even so, the greatest need of our land is not better government or more effective social programs. More than anything else we need more obedient churches. We need Christians who will personally and faithfully engage in local church ministry.”
“To Nehemiah, the need was so great that he agonized. He wept and mourned before the Lord. R.A. Torrey observed, “We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity but accomplish little. Many services but few results.” When Nehemiah saw the spiritual state of his home, he was moved to fervent prayer. He was motivated to respond spiritually and biblically—and God honored that response. James 5:16 says, “…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
