Spiritual Treasures

This page contains a collection of proverbial sayings, some are humorous, some enlightening, and some spiritual.

God has the answer...

            James 1:19

      Matthew 6:34

"Only one life 'twill soon be past-

 

only what's done for Christ will last."

"Live like you'll die tomorrow,

Die knowing you'll live forever.”

25 Things to think about:

 

1. Give God what's right -- not what's left.             
2. Man's way leads to a hopeless end! -- God's way leads to an endless hope.

3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.                     
4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.                     
5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma--but never let him be the period.

6. Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.                     
7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-lift.     
8. When praying, don't give God instructions - just report for duty.     
9. Don't wait for six strong men to take you to church.                   
10. We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.             
11. The church is prayer-conditioned.                                     
12. When God ordains, He sustains.                                       
13. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.                     
14. Plan ahead -- It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.             
15. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.     
16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.                   
17. Exercise daily -- walk with the Lord.                                 
18. Never give the devil a ride -- he will always want to drive.         
19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.                     
20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

21. He who angers you controls you.                                       
22. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.                 
23. Give Satan an inch & he'll be a ruler.                               
24. Be ye fishers of men -- you catch them & He'll clean them..           
25. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.     

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work, for bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, and jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done, my soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time to spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends, they'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do, that was my constant cry,

No time to give to souls in need, but at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said 'Your name I cannot find.

I once was going to write it down... But never found the time'.

The Greatest Man in History Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer 
He had no army, yet kings feared Him..
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.  
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

Jesus...

 

IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.  

IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION;  
IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN;
IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH   TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD;
IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS.

IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END.

IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE.
IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM.

ܡܕܪܫܬܐ ܕܚܕܒܫܒܐ ܕܣܘܪ̈ܝܝܐ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܝ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܒܐܡܪܝܟܐ ܘܟܢܕܐ

Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark .

 

1 Don't miss the boat.
2 Remember that we are all in the same boat!
3 Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4 Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5 Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6 Build your future on high ground.
7 For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
8 Speed isn't always an advantage.. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9 When you're stressed, float awhile.
10 Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
11 No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.
