This will be an ongoing collection of what I believe to be wisdom in a wide variety of things by a wide variety of authors or speakers that I have 

read or heard arranged alphabetically by subject. Many of them will come from notes I have acquired over the years.

Acceptance or Rejection

"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets." Jesus

"He'll grate on you and you'll grate on him and afterward you'll both turn out great." - C. R. Lord © 2005 -

"When people reject Christ they reject God and until their conversion accept Hell and damnation for their portion or inheritance." - Unknown -

Action and Idleness

"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man." - Proverbs 6:10-11 -

"It's always too soon to quit." - Unknown -

Counseling

"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety."  - Proverbs 11:14 -

"You should never counsel anyone without directing them to Christ."  - Rev. Maynard Sweigart -

Eternity - A Never Ending Story

"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."  - Matthew 25:46 -

"Imagine living an entire lifetime in deception and waking up in eternity only to find out that what you believed all your life was a lie."  - C R Lord © 2012 -

Faith or Doubt

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen."  - Hebrews 11:1 -

Faith is not a conscious thing.  It springs from a personal relationship and is the unconscious result of believing someone."  - Oswald Chambers -

"Faith is dead to doubts, dumb to discouragement, blind to impossibilities, knows nothing but success, lifts its hands up through the threatening clouds, lays hold of him who has 

all power in heaven and on earth.  Faith makes the uplook good, the outlook bright, the inlook favorable and the future glorious."  - Unknown -

God's Call On Your Life

"Many times God speaks to us at the most inconvenient times."  - Pastor John Janesta -

Honesty with Others and Yourself

"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."  - 1 John 3:18 -

"Are you willing to speak to anyone as God directs you without fear that you'll lose them?  If you aren't you're building 

your own kingdom."   - Rev. Richard Kellett - 

Obedience or Disobedience

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."  - Jesus -

"The time to teach obedience to authority is in the playpen - instead of the state pen."  - Dr. Willie E. Williams

Our Use or Abuse Of Time

"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."  - James 4:14 -

"We have a short span of time on this planet, and we must learn to invest the time wisely for ourselves and all we come 

in contact with in our sphere of influence."  - C R Lord © 2007 -

"I am a great believer in luck.  The harder I work the more of it I seem to have."  - Coleman Cox -

Prayer

"Pray without ceasing."  - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 -

"It matter not how much you kneel

In attitude of prayer so true

Unless inside where no man sees;

Your very soul is praying too."

"No man is greater than his prayer life."  - Leonard Ravenhill -

Preparation

of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." - 1 Peter 3:15 -

"Two natures lie within my breast.

 One is cursed, and one is blessed.

 One I love, and one I hate;
