MOTTOES AND QUOTATIONS
When I was young
and visited my grandparents' house, I was impressed
with the motto that hung on their wall. It was simple
but left a lasting impression:
Christ
is the Head of this house
The
Unseen Guest at every meal
The
Silent Listener to every conversation.
Over the years
the truth of these three lines has helped to form
my
thinking. Another one has had a profound influence
on me:
Only
one life,
'till
soon be past.
Only
what's done
For
Christ will last.
This truth made
such an impact that for many years now I have stamped
all outgoing mail with these four lines.
If God is the center
of our life, if Christ Jesus is our very reason for
living, if we want to live for the things above moment
by moment (Colossians 3:1-4; Philippians 1:21), then
consider placing concise, profound, and powerful
statements and poems on your own wall. Rid your walls
of the worldly decorations, worldly modern art, worldly
awards, as well as other worldly and ostentatious
displays so commonly found in professing Christian
homes. Begin to make every aspect of your life focus
on the Lord, His Word, and things of the Spirit!
In this section
of the True Discipleship website, we want to make
various mottoes and quotations available to you.
You may simply want to read some of them. You may
want to print them, perhaps on colored paper, for
your own wall. You may want to print them with a
background of a beautiful blue and white cloud scene
(available in your office supply store). You may
even want to retype them, suitable for your own needs.
May the Lord bless us in exalting Him and His ways
for our own spiritual growth and for light-bearing
to others!
Surely all of us benefit
from the insights, observations, and wisdom of others.
Sometimes people use the quotations
of the world to inspire material success. Let
us use wise and holy sayings on our walls to focus
our attention on the Lord and His Word.
Suggestion
Probably you will not be
able to simply print the pages in this section directly. It may be best
to simply "copy" and "paste" the
contents to your own word processing program. Then
you can center the words and print them as you wish.
