E. Stanley Jones Men Quotations

Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.

An hour spent in the presence of God brings the purest joy known to man.

In conversion you are not attached primarily to an order, nor to an institution, nor a movement, nor a set of beliefs, nor a code of action - you are attached primarily to a Person, and secondarily to these other things.

To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.

When the Church listens to the Holy Spirit, it becomes fruitful. New movements are born.

When man listens, God speaks; when man obeys, God acts; when man prays, God empowers.
