OBEDIENCE
|
"We can disobey God if we choose,
and it will bring immediate relief to the situation, but we shall be a
grief to our Lord. Whereas if we obey God, He will look after those
who have been pressed into the consequences of our obedience. We
have simply to obey and to leave all consequences with Him. Beware
of the inclination to dictate to God as to what you will allow to happen
if you obey Him."
-- Oswald Chambers, My Utmost, Jan. 11.

from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience
is a self-contradictory impossibility."
-- A.W. Tozer, I Call it Heresy,
11 --

"Understanding is the reward of obedience.
Obedience is the key to every door. I am perplexed at the stupidity

he will talk and speculate and try to feel, but he will not set himself
to do." -- George Macdonald in the Marquis' Secret,
spoken by Mr. Graham (Malcolm's spiritual mentor/ school teacher/preacher)
to Clementina regarding what was different about Malcolm. --

Mr. Graham -- (George MacDonald, The
Marquis' Secret) --

Life, 51--

"Can you measure the distance between
the throne room of heaven and a cattle shed in Bethlehem? How far is it
from the Lordship of the universe to the cross? Don't be deceived into
thinking there is no cost involved in obedience."
--Henry Blackaby, Experiencing God
Day by Day, 140 --
|
"Oh the folly of any mind that would
explain God before obeying Him! That would map out the character
of God instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?"

"I'm a very religious
person. I just don't worship at any particular shrine."

God."

hop artist Prince Be/Reasons--

God.'"
I don't have any allegiance
to an organized religion; I have an allegiance to the gifts that I find
for myself in those religions."
-- Pop composer/singer Jeff
