Christian Quotes - 6

Conversion:


Do not let any conversion astonish you; be astonished rather, that anyone should possible remain unconverted. (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)


People who think that once they are converted all will be happy, have forgotten satan. (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)


Repentance is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. (John Milton)


A faithful ministry will usually be sealed by the conversion of sinners. (Thomas Moore)


If any minister can be satisfied without conversions, he shall have no conversions. (Charles Haddon Spurgeon)


Conviction:


Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions. (Dag Hammarskjold)


The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. (Oliver Wendell Holmes)


God will never plant the seed of His life upon the soil of a hard, unbroken spirit. He will only plant that seed where conviction of His Spirit has brought brokenness, where the soil has been watered with the tears of repentance as well as the tears of joy.  (Alan Redpath)


Many people confuse the conviction of sin with such feelings as inferiority, lack of self-confidence and so on. Yet whoever observes people closely can see that these feelings and the conviction of sin are not only different from each other but in certain regards are mutually exclusive. A diffuse and vague guilt feeling kills the personality, whereas the conviction of sin gives life to the personality. The former depends on people, on public opinion, while the latter depends on God.  (Paul Tournier)
