Inspirational Quotes by Donald S. Whitney
“Todo creyente debe atravesar algunos desiertos espirituales en su peregrinación a la ciudad celestial.”
“Persevere en la adoración. Clame a Dios pidiéndole que le dé un conocimiento renovado de los «ríos de agua viva» (en referencia al Espíritu Santo) que en Juan 7:38 Jesús prometió que brotarían en todo el que creyera en él. Pero no deje de adorar; nunca se dé por vencido en el desierto. Usted no sabe qué tan amplio es, y podría estar a punto de terminar de atravesarlo.”
“«Congregarse» indiscutiblemente significa reunirse en la presencia física de otros creyentes.”
“Those who eat too much and those who intentionally eat too little are looking for satisfaction in something other than God.”
“God expects us to use the walkie-talkie of prayer because that is the means He has ordained not only for godliness, but also for the spiritual warfare between His kingdom and the kingdom of His Enemy. To abandon prayer is to fight the battle with our own resources at best, and to lose interest in the battle at worst.”
“Hay un elemento de la adoración y de la vida cristiana que nunca puede experimentarse en la adoración a solas ni observando la adoración de otros. Hay algunas gracias y bendiciones que nuestro Padre nos da únicamente cuando nos «congregamos» con otros creyentes como familia de Dios.”
“According to James 1:22-25, we can experience God’s truth so powerfully that what the Lord wants us to do becomes as plain to us as our face in the morning mirror. But if we do not apply the truth as we meet it, regardless of how wonderful the experience of discovering the truth has been, we deceive ourselves if we think we will be blessed for giving attention to the Bible on those occasions. The one who “will be blessed in his doing” is the one who does what Scripture says.”
“La adoración no se puede calcular ni producir.”
“La piedad requiere una adoración disciplinada.”
“When you speak the gospel, you share “the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Sharing the gospel is like walking around in a thunderstorm and handing out lightning rods. You don’t know when the lightning will strike or who it will strike, but you know what it will strike—the lightning rod of the gospel. And when it does, that person’s lightning rod will be charged with the power of God and he or she will believe.”
“How does the Word memorized become the Word applied? It happens through meditation.”
“La oración es, en un sentido, la expresión de una relación continua del cristiano con el Padre.”
“Joy does not come to you if you are spiritually passive; rather, joy is cultivated, but joy is cultivated by things you do.”
“From biblical times to our time, godly people have always been spiritually disciplined people.”
“The word discipline has disappeared from our minds, our mouths, our pulpits, and our culture. We hardly know what discipline means in modern American society. And yet, there is no other way to attain godliness; discipline is the path to godliness. JAY ADAMS”
“FASTING IS EXPECTED To those unfamiliar with fasting, the most surprising part of this chapter may be the discovery that Jesus expected His followers would fast. Notice Jesus’ words at the beginning of Matthew 6:16-17: “And when you fast. . . . But when you fast . . .” (emphasis added). By giving us instructions on what to do and what not to do when we fast, Jesus assumes that we will fast. This expectation is even more obvious when we compare these words with His statements in that same passage—Matthew 6:2-3—about giving: “Thus, when you give. . . . But when you give . . .” (emphasis added). Compare also His words in the same section—Matthew 6:5-7—about praying: “And when you pray. . . . But when you pray. . . . And when you pray . . .” (emphasis added). No one doubts that we are to give and to pray. In fact, Christians commonly use this passage to teach Jesus’ principles on giving and praying. And since there is nothing here or elsewhere in Scripture indicating that we no longer need to fast, and since we know that Christians in the book of Acts fasted (see 9:9; 13:2; 14:23), we may conclude that Jesus still expects His followers to fast today.”
“Freedom through discipline is the idea behind what has become known as “the ten-thousand-hour rule.”[9]”
“Porque mientras mejor entendamos la Biblia, más preparados estaremos para aplicarla”
“Prayerful people become godly people, for prayerfulness with God cultivates godliness in all of life.”
“Debido a que Dios inspiró las Escrituras, crea que lo que lee fue destinado para usted, al menos de alguna manera que se asocia con Cristo, así como para los primeros que recibieron el mensaje. Sin esa actitud, rara vez percibirá la aplicación de un pasaje de las Escrituras a su situación personal.”
