Miscellaneous Christian Quotes - Unknown Authors (and others)

There will be no lies in heaven. There will be no pretending in heaven. There will be no gossip in heaven, no untruth in heaven. There will be absolutely no sin of any kind in heaven. Heaven is the residence of a holy God and is a holy place. Be sure of where you think you want to reside before it's too late! You would be the most miserable, unhappy, person if you went to the wrong place!

A hypocrite is someone who spends their life pretending to be more righteous than they are. Because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them, God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.

They Shall Not Swoon, nor Halt, nor Turn Back

How full of encouragement is the language of the prophet Isaiah, "But those who hope in the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:31).

This beautiful passage contains a promise of continued supplies of grace and strength to all who really desire to serve the Lord with integrity and simplicity. In the image of the eagle, the prophet alludes to the strength of wing and of vision possessed by this noble bird - whereby it ascends to a lofty height, untired and undazzled - soaring even above the gos and mists of the lower regions of the air, mounting above the very clouds, undeterred by the lightning, and floating in the pure azure above!

Thus shall all who hope in the Lord rise higher and higher, upon the mighty wings of strong devotion, and with the unblinking eye of faith - into the regions of heavenly mindedness; and shall approach nearer and nearer to God - the sun of our spiritual day.

"They will run" in the heavenly race, for the crown of immortal glory, "and not grow weary." Their strength, instead of being exhausted, shall, contrary to what occurs in bodily effort - be increased by exertion. No length nor greatness of labor shall be too much for them. God shall pour into their souls, fresh energy for every fresh effort. 

"They will walk and not faint." Their pilgrimage may be arduous; the road may be long and rugged; often up steep ascents, and down into deep and rocky crags, where every step is a labor - but they shall not lose heart or hope; they shall not swoon, nor halt, nor turn back - but go forwards, sustained by a greater power than their own!
