Inspirational Quotations  G-K
Dear Reader,
 
For over two decades I have collected quotes from books and magazines I’ve read as well as from internet searches when researching certain topics or themes.  This collection is made to be added to as I continue to collect and by you also if you have quotes you would like us to add to this working compilation.  Simply add them as a comment and once approved we will join them to the collection. 
            Three disclaimers:  1.  Oswald Chambers is my all-time hero as a writer-speaker and therefore you will find that by far he is the most quoted author/speaker.  If you have never heard of him, I highly recommend My Utmost For His Highest.   2.  This collection is heavily tilted towards ministry—if you are in ministry and love speaking and writing you will get the most out of this.  Regardless, there is much for anyone.  3.  Do not assume quotations reflect my viewpoint. I’ve included a vast array of thoughts and opinions not because I agree with them but because they are thought-provoking.  The beauty of language is often found in the formatting and word selection!  
            Finally, this collection is offered free.  If you find it to be useful and you frequently hunt for quotes for speaking or writing here, please consider donating to First Cause which you can do right on this website.  Your gift helps us build better speakers and writers globally!    Enjoy!

Inheritance

​It is the natural virtues that battle, not sin as we think of sin, but pride, egotism, my temperament, my affinities; all that has to have the sword run clean through it mercilessly by God, and if I stick to my natural inheritance the sword must go through me.--Oswald Chambers in God’s Workmanship
​

After our bodily resurrection, we will receive a physical inheritance.--Randy Alcorn in Heaven

gods

You are told to worship your gods.  What are those gods, even according to yourselves?  What their actions, what their attributes?  Are they not all represented to you as the blackest of criminals?  Yet you are asked to serve them as the holiest of divinities.  Jupiter himself is a parricide and an adulterer.  What are the meaner deities but imitators of his vices?  You are told not to murder, but you worship murderers.  You are told not to commit adultery, and you make your prayers to an adulterer.  Oh, what is this but a mockery of the holiest part of man’s nature, which is faith?  Turn not to the God, the one, the true god, to whose shrine I would lead you.—Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton in The Last Days of Pompeii

Let us notice that no word is as meaningless as is the word god.—Francis Schaeffer in He Is There And He Is Not Silent

Intemperate

A man who makes his golf or his motor bicycle the centre of his life, or a woman who devotes all her thoughts to clothes or bridge or her dog, is being just as “intemperate” as  someone who gets drunk every evening.—C.S. Lewis in Christian Behaviour

Heroin

​            King Heroin is my shepherd, I shall always want,
            He maketh me to lie down in the gutters.
            He leadeth me beside the troubled waters.
            He destroyeth my soul.—Anonymous

Krishna

The fabrication of the incarnation and birth of Krishna was no doubt meant to answer a particular purpose of the Brahmins who were sorely vexed at the progress that Christianity was still making and were afraid that if it were not checked they would lose both their influence and emoluments. —J. Stewart in Nestorian Missionary Enterprise
