James Smith on Pleasing God

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Monday, July 3, 2017 at 5:30 AM

“God is pleased or displeased with every thought we think, with every word we speak, with every action we perform, and with every emotion we feel. Perhaps we do not sufficiently realize this. We think, speak, feel, and act, without ever considering whether we are pleasing God, or no. But this ought not to be, for He gave us our being, redeemed us from death, called us by His grace, and has blessed us with innumerable and interminable blessings, and all that we may glorify Him.”

J.C. Ryle on Pleasing God

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Monday, November 21, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“He must be content to be thought ill of by man if he pleases God. He must count it no strange thing to be mocked, ridiculed, slandered, persecuted, and even hated. He must not be surprised to find his opinions and practices in religion despised and held up to scorn. He must submit to be thought by many a fool, an enthusiast, and a fanatic—to have his words perverted and his actions misrepresented. In fact, he must not marvel if some call him mad. The Master says, “Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also” (Joh 15:20).”

"In every enterprise, our first enquiry should be, will this please God? And after every engagement, the point we should strive to ascertain is, Have I in this business pleased God?"

“Truly to confess out of the heart that all benefits come of God, even out of the goodness of his mercy and not the deservings of our deeds, is the only sacrifice that pleases God.”
William Tyndale
