Daily Quote---February 4, 2015

Temptation usually comes in through a door that has deliberately been left open.

Written By: Arnold Glasow


   "Temptations which accompany the working day
 will be conquered on the basis of the morning
 breakthrough to God.
 Decisions, demanded by work, become easier
 and simpler where they are made not in the
 fear of men, but only in the sight of God.
 He wants to give us today the power
 which we need for our work."

    Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"An idol of the mind is as offensive
 to God as an idol of the hand."

    Author: A.W. Tozer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"As long as you want anything very much,
 especially more than you want God,
 it is an idol."

    Author: A.B. Simpson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Every one of us is,
 even from his mother's womb,
 a master craftsman of idols."

    Author: John Calvin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition;
 so much so that if a man believes his own mind
 it is certain that he will forsake God and forge
 some idol in his own brain."

    Author: John Calvin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The reason why many fail in battle is
 because they wait until the hour of battle.
 The reason why others succeed is because
 they have gained their victory on their
 knees long before the battle came.
 Anticipate your battles;
 fight them on your knees before
 temptation comes,
 and you will always have victory.

    Author: R.A. Torrey

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How pitiful that his mind was overruled
 by his emotion; his reasoning,
 overcome by his affection.
 Why is it that men "did not believe the truth?"
 Because they "had pleasure in unrighteousness"
 (2 Thess. 2:12).
 It is not that the truth is unreasonable
 but that it is not loved.
 Hence when one truly turns to the Lord he
 "believes with his heart (not mind)
 and so is justified"
 (Rom. 10:10)."
